Opinions on wheel/tire size for an 03 wrx

Hey guys, I'm a new owner to a black 03 wrx sedan. The car is in need of new tires, so I figured that I'd upgrade the wheels as well. I'm a noob to this whole subaru stuff so any input or suggestions on what size/width/offset wheel and what size tire to get would be helpful. I have some height adjustable coilovers on and just the stock bumpers and sides. Any input would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

get some 26 inchers with some monster truck tires. get it lifted 36 inches and crush your way to victory. i know that comment wasnt helpful but i just wanted to imagine what that would look like.

for real though any time you do tires even if you blow one out. you have to replace ALL 4. it sucks but that is part of being a subie owner. take the good with the bad. if you do it like a 2wd car and do tire front and back at diff times you will blow the clutch pack out. all the tired i was told need to be within 1/4 inch of each other. my suggestion. get some 06-07 rims and rock those 17's like they were gonna quit making them. i think if i ever had a favorite stock rim the 7 spoke 06-07 rims would be them

thanks man. I've been looking for those but I can't find anyone wanting to sell theirs. I tried on some sti wheels, but the bolt pattern was different? I dont know... I thought they were off of an 04 sti, but I guess not

top column to the right is the correct one for you. Don't settle for 06-07 wheels if that isn't what you really want, there are much better options
