15x9/15x8 tire size ?
Thinking of trying my luck in STX next year at club level in my '06 JCW
Lots left to spend/build.. but I do have some 15x9 6ul's and by the spring I am hoping to find a pair of 15x8's for the rear.
Probably looking at Rival S, what is the go to tire size that fits? 225/45?

Not sure, but going from a 225 to a 245 on a 9" should just change the shoulder profile. I think the only reason the 225 on the 9" fits at all is because the overall diameter is smaller than the OE size. Buys clearance.
Also, think you should run that BRZ in DS next year.

I hope so, I mounted up my 15x9's with 225 Rivals, and I THINK there would be room for a 245 on there!

I am running 6uls 15x9 front and 15x8 rear. Rivals 225/45 all around. The rears could use a 2mm spacer for a little more clearance to the rear trailing arms. The fronts need a 15-20mm spacer to clear the brakes on my car. There is quite a bit of poke on the front so you need to be careful with suspension travel as well.
The 8" wheels fit the 225 section tires about right and the 9" wheels have a bit of stretch.
I don't think there are any 245 options on Rivals/RE-71s. I would probably switch to 245s at least in front.

I still have some 225/45-15 NT01s on my 15X9s for the Miata. But they've been used to the bone.

Anyway, having run 15X8 with 205/50 Federal RSRR (borrowed from Miata) I can say I do not like how short the gear ratios end up being. This is on R56
There are no 205/55 options. There is one 225/50 option but it's R888 so not STX legal. There is a 195/55 option with Nankang but treadwear is 180AA. So still no good.
