Yep. On the Subie, my summer tires are 215/45/17 on 17x7.5" rims, and the
stock tires (winter) are the same size on 17x7" rims. Significantly
different feel with the extra half-inch of rim width (which now matches the
tread width).

...and if there was ever a delay that was annoying, count the turn-in delay
as
number one!!!I ran one set of 235/45-17 tires on 7.5" rims and that caused a
sloppy reaction to quick steering inputs. I'm sure not as bad as yours, but
nevertheless perciptible enough to make it unpleasurable driving in the
car...IMO.Then I ran a couple of 235/45-17 tires on 8" rims, and handling
was
razorsharp.And that is what I want - my SHO must be a razorblade!Michael
