Wheel Sizes for 2005 WRX Wagon

I am interested in swapping out the stock wheels I have on my WRX, but I do not want to have to modify the fenders or suspension in order to have the wheels fit properly. Can someone let me know what wheel sizes will fit on a 2005 WRX wagon? I am considering 17's or 18's, thanks!

HAHA, I'm sure they are, but I want to avoid altering my suspension and fenders to fit big rims. I'm looking for a rim and tire combo that will fit on a stock 05 WRX wagon. Ideally one that can accommodate all season tires for the snow.

I had 18x8 +45 on stock suspension and it rubbed. I was told that 17x8 with the right offset wouldn't. Ended up goin with 04 sti bbs that fit with no rub and look great. Leavin room to drop it n fill in that gap.
