215/55-16 on Stock 2002 WRX Wheels?
Is anyone running a 215/55-16 on their stock 2002 WRX wheels? I was planning on sticking with the 205/55-16 (stock size), but the winter tires I was looking at went out of stock for the season and I can't find them anywhere. The closest available size is a 215/55-16.
Since it's a wider tire on a narrow wheel, does it look "balloon-like"? Anyone have a pic?

Narrower is better for winter rubber and looks don't matter when all you want is traction.
215/55-16 is going to be a bit on the tall side and you might rub on bumps consider these instead:http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=0 Last edited by Spenk; 01-13-2009 at 01:33 PM. |

Even with the stock suspension it might rub?
