the stock size is 16x6.5

there are a few people who run 19s without issue. of course that depends on certain factors, offset, width, tire choice, sedan or wagon, etc...

i think theres a guy with a sn of "///m3roadster" or something like that running 19s on his wrx sedan. try giving it a search.

In Europe WRX are delivered with 17" wheels. If you go from 215/45R17 (Standard) to 225/35R19 the radius increases only by 0.3".

Experience showed that some wheels rub when the offset is bigger than standard and the car lowered.

Anyway for show 19" is a must have. I guess even 20" would be possible :devil:

I went for 18" and think they are way too small...

That's how my 18" look like.

A guy around here has 19's on his sedan, and I don't think he rubs that bad.

19's should work as long as the offset is correct.
