    So quick question I got a 14 wrx and just got a new set of cosmis xt206r 18x9 +33 my question is which should I choose 245 or 255 and would I be rubbing and need to roll my fenders? for them to fit? And also been looking up on summer tires and unsure what to get what tires would you recommend?

    It’ll be stock height for now then I’ll drop it 1/2-1 inch

    As for money for tires maybe no more then 200

    I dd my car and occasionally I hit the back roads and go hard on it since there are some twisty roads where I live

    So if your going to drop it and do all the work I would go no less then 1". That said Tires vary quite a bit in width from one to another even if they are both 255 or so. So what is best to do is pick a tire then see how the measure up in width and pick your tire with from there.
