There would be no point at all to it. It will only hurt performance, not help it because your tire size is not the weak link in your suspension. And considering it will rub on a stiffer STI suspension it will rub even more on a WRX one.

I've looked into getting adjustable struts with Forrester springs. What would you recommend? Tight on budget for a full suspension setup right now but want to get started. Still on the stock wheels and itching for new ones.

I didn't say XXRs, but your smart enough to know that other than going custom they are about the only brand the makes that size. So I wont bull**** you. Yes of course, they are cheap as hell, but there are a bunch of other folks that would disagree with you regarding if they are a good rim or not. I have read the non biased pros and cons. Rota's are ripped on the same way, yet they are track proven. Not that I will, but I think if I do get them I will make a rim cap that has the Ebay logo and sport that instead. Sure I will get haters, but it will get a few smiles as well. Thats cool with me.

if the wheels look good on YOUR ride. get them. if you are comparing between replica wheels, they are the same quality BS. they are all made in some taiwan/china factory.
