18 inch pf7s , i would think its the tyre side wall width that effects the ride more than anything else.

Ive got some 19' Oz superleggera alloys that originally came off a bugeye impreza if your interested. My plan was to fit them to my classic but change of plans now.

I know a couple members on this forum have 19 Oz superleggera fitted to there newage Impreza's.

P.S. Yes they are a wee bit more harsh than balloon tyres, but the grip is in a different county...

Tein Superstreets, very harsh on their own, but I'm not worried about comfort, just want grip...

I had 19's on my 03 sti with coilovers. The ride was awful. I mean it is harsh now I'm on 18's but look at the size of tyre sidewall. 35 on 18 is still quite crashy but a good compromise between grip and comfort imo.

19's did look pretty damn good. Without coilovers you might not find them too harsh depending on the rubber.
