I was ordering a wheel/tire package from Tire Rack and it only popped up 205 tires. The oem wheels are also 7.5" wide and came with 225/40 tires. I do like the slightly stretched look, so I went with the 205s. The Impreza is a relatively light car, so I don't think there's a significant advantage to the 225, and the 205 might be better in the wet. The steering feels lighter and I'm getting better gas mileage already. So, yeah, I was planning on a 225, but took a chance with 205 when Tire Rack paired it with this wheel.
