Default RE050 Pole Positions?

Hey Guys, its time to replace my stock RE050 tires, and I am thinking about getting RE050 Pole Position, which is suppose to be the upgraded version. I've had S03 Pole Positions in the past and now the RE050, and i've been really happy with both.

The OE front size for RE050 is... 215/45-17
does anyone know if these will fit...225/45-17

basically the Pole Position for the fronts are a little bigger, and the rears are the same size.

Let me know what everyone thinks, or if there is something else I should be looking at.

Rumor has it the PP's are really wide per their size so you might want to go with the 205/50-17's instead.

I'm running 225/45 and 255/40 Azenis 615 on stock and no issues...much wider in comparison to the stock and much better.

in 19, 275s, they actually run a bit narrower than S-03s, but in 18, 285s i hear they run way wide.



awesome tires tho. i'm running the PPs now and the feel is very firm and stick is good in the wet and dry but what the heck do i know about driving?

Definitely My 285s are sitting WAY wider than the S03s. Gonna have to roll, change tires, or get some mad -5 camber.
