Read this over Nasioc about the STi rims. Thats were I got the info.
I'm not sure I beleive that.... where'd "Jon Bogart" get that info... I know the stock WRX rims are 6.5" wide +53. To go an inch wider w/o pushing the rim out towards the fender at all sounds like it should be pretty crowded near the strut. Plus, that would imply there's enough room to run a 9" wide +48 on and STi, and AFAIK te STi doesn't have more room than a WRX for rims. (Besides, STi rims fit on WRX's and I believe a 7.5"+53 rubs on a WRX).

'Course I could be wrong, I don't own an STi.
