i would be very surprised if there wasn't some rubbing. The more drop you've got the more rub you'll get. Fender roll is absolute necessary.

any confirmation on this?
i called my local dealership, they told me fenderwell's for WRX and STi have the same part #? leads me to believe it's got the same clearance? (also looking to see if 245/40/17's will fit on my 05, seeing as i'm trying to get some Rota Slipstreams in 17x8.5) |

Perhaps this thread will help with your '05 question.
A 245-40-17 has a diameter of 24.7", versus the stock (for the STi) diameter of 25.0", so it's going to effect your speedo a little (will be 1% too fast compared to 225-45-17) as well as your effective gearing. If the wheel wells and suspension geometry are indeed the same on the WRX and STi, then the 245-40-17 should fit with the appropriate offset in a 17x8.5. |
