Default quick wheel question

Sorry if this is a newb question but I couldn't find anything on this...
Can the ugly steel 15" 02 forester wheels (not black I'll see if I can find a pic) fit my 98 OBW? And if so Whats the biggest tire I can fit on there once they're on the OBW?

Thanks in advance!

They'll fit decently. Tires can't get much bigger without rubbing though.

As stock is 205/70/15 methinks, the 215/70/15 should be ok.
