Am no expert but i just put some TOYO - PROXES T1-R, 215/35R18W Reinforced on to my RA, got them at etyres online and got mobile fitting, tyres were 98 each. I did quite a bit of research and seems the toyo is a popular choice, and having used them for a few weeks they feel good.

Rims well i like my technomagnesia rims, its down to personal choice i guess, i like the spoked look. Picture shows with old tyres but am sure it will give you an idea

hope this helps

rab i used to have toyo's t-1 and they were good but i much prefer my avon zz3's now mega sticky !!

no a bad price either think they were about 70 -75 ish each

A nice set of 225 wide tyres sitting on 7 or 7.5 inch wide alloys with 5 mm spacers all round

Get shot of the Mud and Snow tyres asap unless you want the new car to go sideways like the old Skyline, only this time you wont enjoy it as it wont come back.

Never had Toyos on a Subaru but they did perform well on my Honda, i liked the ZZ3's that i had on my Advans

squirrel will the 5mm spacers not affect the handling and or the geometry mate ??

and if so is  it a good thing ??
