WR1 Owners Club

Can we run a 245/35 x18 tyre on the WR1 ?
At present I have 235/35 x18

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.

can you run 215/35/18 ???

you ain't serious

the reason for question was ive got a chance of ppf reps with 215/35/18 tyres on them and was wondering if it would be ok to run on them until they wear then put the right size tyres on???? so i take it by your answer imposter that its a no no

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..........

cheers for the info, the wheels are off a cataluna with brenbos. conversion all round
