Does anyone see an issue with running a set of 17 X 8 WORK Emotions wrapped with a 245/40/17 on an 04 WRX dropped with Perrin springs?

My vote is it might rub... possibly. Roll your fender and you might be okay?

By my calculations you should be fine with the S03, but the AVS is questionable. The good news is that +47 is only 6mm off of stock :).

The S03 is 9" wide, a whopping 26 lbs, but 24.8" overall diameter, so you should gain a little torque to the wheels to make up for some of the loss due to weight.

The AVS Sport, however, is 9.8" wide, 25 lbs, and 24.7" overall diameter, and I'm not so sure you'll be rub-free under aggressive driving.

Take-off RE070's <---my recommendation.

070's in the same 245/40/17?

No, 070's in 225/45/17, and remember, the 225 070 is as wide as a normal 235, so you're not missing much, .1" compared to the S03 :).
