rotating tires
umm at the risk of sounding really dumb...
do i rotate tires front to back or diagonal?
I misplaced my subaru book thing so this may be hard.
thanks, stacy

Front to back should be fine. In many cases it's required as more and more (high performance) tires are "directional" meaning they can only be on one side of the car so you have to go front to back.

That wasn't a dumb question. Like sonicsuby said, front to back is fine. I just rotated mine and I had to diagonally. My front right tire had the worst wear and the left rear had the least. So we went diagonally.

so i go to rotate them with the boyfriend and we cant find the wheel lock key in my car. is the key lock standard on the wheels for the WRX? because i did buy my car used...
well the dealer never gave me a key to unlock the one lock so now i dont know what to do. we went to pep boys adn they didnt have a key that would match. I guess ill be calling the dealer tomorrow morning...

Wheel locks are not standard. Subaru does offer McGard locks as an add-on option but without seeing what you have there is no way to tell if that's what you have or the locks were purchased elsewhere by the last owner. In either case the dealer was irresponsible if they delivered a car to you without checking to be sure the key was there.
I assume you have checked all the possible hiding places- glovebox, trunk (including underneath by the spare), center console, door pockets.
