Wheel Upgrade? Method Roost

I've got the 2016 Outback Limited. Currently it's stock wheels, tires and no lift. I'm planning to get the Anderson Fabs 2" lift and I really want to move to some 17" wheels for more variety in selecting a tire (235/65-17).

A noob at buying wheels I've done a bunch of research but I can't tell if the wheel will ultimately fit over the brakes and if the offset and width is going to cause some rubbing on the wheel well before and after the lift.

I'm thinking of getting the Method Racing Roost in matte black.

I've been using this tire fitment calculator. I don't claim to know if the fender clearance, suspension clearance, wheelwell clearance or scrub radius are correct. Does anyone know the offset of the stock wheels?

My apologies for the confusion, abee82... when I originally replied to the thread I had in my mind the Method Rally Wheels which we sell quite a few of to Subaru owners. You are correct the Method Roost wheel will not fit.
It's a bit surprising that the Method Roost wheels will not fit. The offset pushes the wheel to the outside which should make for more clearance in the wheel well for shocks, springs, etc.
