    I am running a 18X8 on my LGT wagon and I have no clearance issues. Just when you go bigger then a 225 tire, you will need to roll the rear fenders.

    I'd check what the offset on those rims is, that could be a factor. Mike has Subaru friendly Prodrive rims ;)

    No, find out what the offset is on whatever wheels you're looking at, that will be listed as part of the wheel information. Go to Nasioc in the tire and wheel forum and read the Offset sticky. That will help you out immensely in finding a set of wheels for your car.
