Not STI wheels.Picked a set up for $50.If you are which tires are you using?I was looking at 215/60/17(27inch circ) or 215/65/17(28 Circ).My 96 is lifted with forrester struts and 1/2 rear spacer.Yes I know speedo will be off.
Anyone running 08 WRX wheels(17inch) on 1st gen outback

Rolling with 17"
I have some 05 OB XT 225/55/17 installed on my 99OB, It was a 2 inch jump in diameter, I call it a poor mans lift job. My mpg went down about 2 to 3 mpg, and the braking has been affected. I going to put some 03 H6 rotors and calipers soon to help alleviate the braking force applied , the difference imho is old 10.6, new 11.6, so we will play with it

I did a test fit with the 215/60/17(we had a new one off a wrecked car that had a flat spot at work).Didnt rub at all in the front.A wee bit close to rear strut.I have some 1/8 inch spacers I may use to get it a little further out.
