Dang.. that sucks because I don't want to spend another $500 on new rubber. Might as well keep running on my 215-60-16s as they would probably fill more of the gap than the 215-45-17s. Arg Subaru and another less than desired OEM shoes selection!

Meh.. think I should let go of the 07 WRX rims that come with those "small" tires.. or should I run the less than desired tire until they run out (I'm guessing about 2-3 years from now.. meaning I'll be over 100k..). I'm getting them for $425.. no curbage no damage and more than 75% rubber.

Looks like I'll need 225-50 for sure to even match the height of my current setup.. 215-45s are almost a 2 inch height difference!
