I think you would have a tough time fitting anything wider than a 7.5 inch rim.
You might squeeze an 8 inch with a 225 at the very most, but I doubt it. I would stick with a 7.5 and a 215 or 225 at the very most, and even then you may need a slight fender roll.

An 8.5 is going to be way too wide, and you won't be able to put a tire wide enough to necessitate that wide of a rim.....

They'd seriously stock out at least an inch from the body. I know it sounds like a killer deal, but you should pass, unless you want to buy them then sell them to a 05 STi owner
