You'll probably need your arches rolled to run 215/45/17, I've been running this size for a while now and have knocked **** out of my own arches, this is with pretty hard use though. With daily driving you 'might' get away with it..

205/40/17 is the wrong size for an impreza. Classic is 205/45/17 or 215/40/17.

I think 215/45/17 will fit, but not 100% certain, especially if the cars lowered. The 2 sizes I mentioned are the proper size for a classic.

No worries, though you'll find that 215/40/17s will be cheaper as there is more choice of tyre than 205/45/17.
