what tyres are you guys using on them currently?
im shopping for a set of STI ENKEI 18" RIMS. and thinking if it will look okay with my current tyres. which are 215/45R/18.
i was thinking i would need abit more low profile tyres, something around 35 or 40.
are any of you guys using 45 profile tyres on the enkei's?

its for the 18"x7.5 STI ENKEI's
do you think it will look funny with the 215/45/r18?
i was told by Subaru that it shouldn't have a problem fitting but it may not look right.
what are your thoughts boys?

They look great but buckle easily on Sydney roads, I've had mine repaired a few times. the lower the profile you go...

all 07 TB STI's came standard with 215/45/18, it shouldn't look too bad as long as the car is standard height

depending on Rolling diameter...225/40/18 would be the lowest I'd go unless its a track car

+1 Tony...just beat me to it.
07 tb STI had those tyres on the same rim you're looking at getting Libz, so it's strange the suby guys would say it may not look right?

although I would tend to agree, they're too skinny a tyre and a bit high on profile, I've put 235x40 on those rims for a lower wider stance and with billies and s techs same as Tony they ride well.
