I'm running 195/60r15's which is the Impreza L stock tire size.
185/60r16 is the closest to stock RS size that you'll get. It's almost an inch narrower than stock.
I'm running the stock size on my stock wheels, 205/55/16. My wheels are 7 inch wide, and yours are 6.5 inch, so I don't know if that makes any difference.
I say find a way to put the wing on your hood. Then take it to the AutoX.
I think we should take Roy's car down to Carlisle this year. We could put some nice (non permanent) rice mods and put mud all over it. Show those 'all show no go' guys what real performer looks like.
I'm running my stock rims. I don't really think the 1/2 inch width difference will amount to much. I bought Dunlop Wintersport M2's and they make them in the 205/55 R16 size. They worked sweet last snow storm, way better than I thought they would. Definitley worth the money. I believe that Michelin Pilot Alpins, Bridgestone Blizzaks (LM22??) and one of the performance snow tire Pirelli's also come in the factory tire size.:sunny: :sunny:
