Do you really want 8.5 on a wagon? Are you gonna roll your fenders? From what I have researched 7.5 is plenty wide enough. Check out this thread.
Good choice on tires. When my tires lose their tread those be the ones Im getting too.

its hard to find wheels in a 7.5 that will clear a bbk. yeah if i do go with an 8.5 ill have to cancel my order to tirerack and get some 235's i think. still looking for good rims in the 4-5 hundred dollar range in a 7.5 that will clear bbk. any suggestions?

Check out Rota, I know a lot of the guys in here have 'em. The 7.5's clear the STi brembos, so you should be safe with clearance. Which bbk are you lookin at? Rotas are relatively cheap, and have only heard good things about em. Check out subydude.com
Im rockin' the STi wheels on my wagon, and am livin the happy life.
