Anyone with a tire smaller than 225 on a 9 or larger.......... is way too cool with their herrafrush ****.

Both a 265/35/18 and 275/35/18 would be a pretty good fit. 255/35/18 would be a bit too narrow.

275/35/18 im guessing? and yea the 255s are narrow and i know they are too short for the sti, i want to say the same holds true for the WRX

With WRX gearing you want a 35 rather than a 40 anyways to help shorten the gearing.
I'm aware. What I was addressing is the lower than ideal offset and redundant sizing for a street car. The ideal 9.5" configuration is a +44, but you're still running a wheel that will never be fully utilized by anything but a real track setup. For a street driven Subaru, you won't benefit from anything over 8.5". There are downsides to going too big.
