While I like the look of an 18" wheel for my '11 WRX hatch, I feel uneasy enough about my stock wheels on CT roads with the stock sidewall.
I want a 9.5" wide wheel, but unlike most people here I'm looking at staying at 17" diameter.
I'm looking at WedsSport SA-72R, 17x9.5 +38mm, 5x100.
The issue I'm having is finding options for tires. I want 265/40/17 tires because they match the stock diameter, but can only find the following:
- Bridgestone Potenza RE760 @ $157/ea
- Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 @ $307/ea
- Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar @ $323/ea
The Potenza's don't get incredible reviews, and I don't want to spend $1200+ on tires.
It seems clear what I want to do is uncommon, but are there other options I'm missing?
