What do you guys/gals think?

https://www.i-club.com/forums/norcal-classifieds-96/wtt-uk-17s-stock-wheels-tires-88211/

I was thinking about jumping on this. Originally content with my stockers and my 03' impreza OBS but looks like the upgrade to 17" rims make a huge difference on the ride.

I'm not planning to do many upgrades to my Impreza as far as going fast or anything. Pretty much daily driver+snow.

Is this a good deal?

TIA
Chris

u do realize that there are rubbing issues on a wagon with 235's and a 8" wide wheel right?

225's are hit or miss, but the often rub as well.

Thank you for pointing out that the "problem" isn't with my advice, but the vehicle

the safe bet for the Impreza wagons is 215/45/17, you can fit 225/45/17s if its not lowered and rarely will you rub, but if you are lowered then you have to either get 215's or roll/cut the rear fenders.
