If you're on a budget, tires are the first mod you should make. The stock RE92's are HORRIBLE!!! If you can afford a bit more, go for 17x7.5's with nice sticky tires. Then move onto suspension mods (coilovers recommended). If you have some spare money lying around, consider also strut bars.

I got into an accident recently because the stock tires gave up in a sharp but low speed turn in the rain. I hydroplaned into a curb and did over $3000 worth of damage. Just got it back today after three weeks in the shop!
Wanna know what my first mod's gonna be????
I'm liking the Dunlop SP 5000's, personally.....

Man, I've seen 18x8 and they look huge on a WRX. Furthermore, it seems a lot of people prefer 17" over 18"
Dunno. 18x8.5 will most likely fit, but the might be a little to big regardless.

go for 17x7.5's just like everyone else is telling you. These tires would be an excellent choice for those wheels.
Dont make the mistake of buying expensive rims and some cheap tires. IMO tires are the best first mod and I would buy some S03's and 17x7.5 rims. Also make sure you buy rims with the correct offset unless you want to end up paying around $700 on new wheel bearings.
