hmmm I see. Right depends on which rim you are using.
Mine is 17in - 7.5 - 48mm
On GD body, 225 should be perfectly ok as grandmasterchan says.
WRX STi is 225/45/17 from stock.

225s can have a tendency to rub and so you need to roll your fenders. (not always though). it all depends on what size wheel you are using and what offset you have

close, it's the 17" UK wrx wheel... great wheel. no complaints. looks a lot better than the stockers, and not too heavy either.

just my 2c
