17x7.5 works well w/48-52mm offsets. 17x8.5 - bigger than I'd recommend on an unmodified WRX.

I am running 17x8.5 +45 w/ 245/40/17.

Perfect setup if you ask me. With rolled rear fenders and proper allignment work, my car does not rub at all. 245mm wide tires have plenty of grip is improves the all around handling.

Handling is superb.

I am running ZERO SPORTS coilovers, which I am going to swap back to CUSCO Zero-2's with custom rate springs.

But as is the car handles great. Of course, SureTrack f/r diffs help too.

What I really want to do is to get 2 17x7.5 + 48 RCII's.

Run 17x7.5 w/ 225/45/17 in front and 17x8.5 w/ 255/40/17. Add CUSCO 65/35 Tarmac Gear center LSD and yeeeeeha!

Same rolling diameter. Much crispier steering. 65/35 f/r torque split. That would probably be the ultimate setup. I can even see myself drift with this setup.

As is, 245's all around are nice, but steering is a tad heavy. For quick turns. However, on high speed turns the car is simply on rails.

So jealous of Alex.....
If you're on a normal budget like most of us, 17x7.5+45 or 48 is fine enough.
