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.

Any recommendations on which type of struts to lift my blob eye? Adjustable or not? Forrest springs or other?

My only recommendation is to raise the rear or stiffen spring

What size rim would you run with the 295 or 315? I just put flares on and not sure what to go with. was thinking 18x9.75. 20+ offset

Nobody of sound mind would ever willingly buy XXRs. They are lowest of the low for quality.

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.

i think xxr's make their wheels x9.75 or something odd..

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.
