17 x 8 if you have a sedan.

17 x 7.5 if you have a wagon, as the 8" wheels wont fit without the fender flares...

make sure you get the right bolt pattern, 5x114.3

I'm not sure if they have a lot of torques available in that pattern yet... ask the subydude guys

yup 02/03/04 have 5x100

subaru changed wrx and sti bolt patterns for 05. 5x114.3 is actually a more popular patter and you should have more options for wheels

i think you may have to roll your fenders w/ 17x8 (depends on your tire width) if you lower your car. Try searching this forum, there's a lot of ppl that have 17x8s. You have a sedan right? 17x8 will definately not fit on a wagon.

my04 wagon w/ no mods

1st mods are suspension upgrades that will come in the next 3-4 months

-17x7.5 rota torques or SDRs w/ bridgestone s-03s
-20 or 21mm rear sway bar w/ kartboy solid endlinks
-dunno about springs/struts yet -- i'm still researching

unfortunately my04-05 wagon owners got shafted with suspension options

as for rolling fenders - basically it's moving the inner fender lip up so that the tire doesn't rub against it. Some people do it themselves with a baseball bat and some get it professionally done.

yeah... i've been considering those. See my thread in the suspension forum about my dilemas

My only issue w/ the sti "pink" wagon springs is that there are no struts to match. I'm not sure if I want to run them on my stock struts, but I've been told that they aren't that stiff that will be fine.

WARNING: This is not correct!!!

The Bolt pattern for 05 WRX's, and other non-STI models are STILL 5x100!!!

^^^^^

CRAP! kostamojen is right -- 5x114.3 is only for STI

Sorry kbyuan for the wrong info -- hopefully you haven't ordered anything yet
