Can we run a 245/35 x18 tyre on the WR1 ?
At present I have 235/35 x18
Heaven can wait....I'm playing with my scooby.

We've got 235's on Chris, sometimes they do slightly rub on full lock, so I'd say no for 245's, but you could always try it !

Running on 35 profile would also put the speedo out.

all Subaru's traditionally run 5x100PCD ands the WR1 is no different in that, the only issue you may encounter is if you sourced wheels from a 2005 STi> which changed to a 5x114.3PCD to suit the H/duty bearings & hubs they fitted..........
