your missing a vital bit of info, offset

chances are they will go on regardless of offset, the rest depends on your suspension and ride height

Yes assuming correct PCD, you can run up to a 18 x 9 et 35 with a 225 tyre you will however need have camber adjustment to make the most of this, as on standard suspension they will rub, with after market coilovers you can run wider tyres. Going wider will need more camber and arch rolling.

18 x 8.5 with a ET no lower than 38 will see no issues.

5 x 114.3?

Assuming that UK Spec WRXs aren't any different from USDM ones, they will NOT fit since the bolt pattern WRX are 5 x 100.
