Largest tire size on stock rims?
 

What are the largest tires (size wise) I can fit on the stock rims?

I have heard you can go with 225, but I would like to see a picture of this first. The 215 already look like they are a bit too wide for the 7" rim though, at least to me.

I have 225's on some 7" Impreza wheels without any issues.

225 40s should fit pretty easily.

Stock tires seem kinda narrow to me...

I'll agree, the contact patch does look narrower than the rim.

I put 225 45 hankook ipikes on my stock wheels. Looked fine, not pinched. I sold them to a guy with a legacy.

Nobody makes these in street legal tread patterns. 225/45 is the closest you can get.

I know someone running 235/40r17 NT01s... 7J is not an approved rim width for that size, but it works. I dont think the reduced lateral stiffness would be worth the extra tread width though.

Some 215/45 Federals would be plenty wide. They're like a 225 anyway.

Just gotta find 'em first...

225/40/17 dont offer a lot of selection, what about 225/45/17?

225/40 would be a bit short. I'd go 225/45. Slightly taller than stock, but barely.

Maybe 225/40 if you want shorter gearing for autox or something.

I run 225 45 17 rs-3's on my factory rims,
Fitment is good but not perfect.

I'm on 225/45/17 Michelin PSS and love them.
