Q: Can I run different Size Tires front and rear on my Subaru Impreza WRX STi or Subaru Legacy SpecB.?
A: NO!
Do not run different Tire Sizes Front and Rear or Side to Side on a Street Driven Subaru. All 4 tires must match.

Not a lot of information out there on the new gramLights 57D wheel except that it doesn’t really come in sizes for Subarus.

First up is a comparo of a select few 255/35/18 and 265/35/18
all tires listed in this graph are a 35 profile and 18″ diameter
Measuring Width is the wheel width that was used when measuring Tread width and Section width. Both of tread width and section width change with wheel width. More on this in a future article.
