I have 225/35/18 Yoko Avs's on my classic lowered 35mm on Eibach springs & I had to roll the rear arches to stop the rubbing. I personally think it's worth the hassle of rolling the arches to get the better size tyre on (I've heard of a 225/18 Pirelli fitting without a problem but obviously the offset of the wheel also plays a part in all of this).
I would imagine if you haven't lowered the car you'd be ok most of the time except for when you have rear passengers or go over those delightful speed bumps.

If this helps, Subaru reccomend 225/35/18 & 215/40/17 on the classic
225/40/18 & 215/45/17 on he new age, and thats it.
