I'm running 235/45's with just a roll in the rear. Actually rubs less now than my 225's did unrolled. LOL.
If I was going for it I'd run 255's and flares.

Sent EQ this post I found on Reddit. Interesting.
"Hey guys, has anyone ever noticed that their 08+ STi likes to hesitate/stumble around 3k rpms. My tuner and I figured a fix to this issue. So hear me out. Basically right now tuners go around and they add compensation tables for the stumble. The STi likes to lean out around that area, a few guys over at Romraider figured out at that particular rpm they lose some fuel pressure. (kinda weird) So what tuners do now is dump extra fuel in that spot to fix the stumble. Well, we found a mechanical fix. We found out that the there is some type of weird resonation that causes a weird loss in pressure. Anyways, we found if we add about 3' of hose from the fuel rails, to the fuel damper on the top feed, it gets rid of the issue completely, we even zero'd out the compensation table completely. We took my car out and did some logs, no lean spot, and no stumble. The car drives completely different/smooth. So those of you with this problem should try this out, it really works!"
