The Hatch has a 17" option and I ran 17"s on my saloon for my winter wheels in the early days.....

I managed to cure the crashy feeling by fitting the Bilstein STI upgrade

The MY15 WRX STIalso has a 17" option but only for fitting to the rear as a "full size" spare in place of the T tyre.
The MY15 WRX includes a full 17" option.

Thanks Don, was there a noticeable difference with the 17’s on your saloon?

No, it made little difference apart from being a little less sure footed on clear roads, due to the softer tread blocks (Nokians versus Eagle F1's).

STI do replacement springs for standard struts that may improve things.
