They'll fit, but personally I wouldn't have 2 different sized tyres on my car, unless of course you'll going to buy another pair of matching 225/40-18 tyres.

Don't blame you. You hardly want to scrub away your Pirelli Corsa's. :)

I'm sure the genuine PFF7s I had on my MY04 STI were 8 x 18, but can't be 100% about the ones fitted to the WR1 as standard. :?:

It is in the WR1 literature at home.

Are you sure the WR1 wheels are 7.5jj? Do you have the original three page brochure cos it tells you in there for sure.

I forgot to look on friday. I was in RCM and they have some PFF'7#s on the floor. If anyone has a spare the width will be mentioned somewhere, probably on the inside of the rim
