Ric, no chance. MIMs just don't fit Imprezas with a 45mm off-set - they foul the wheel arches and upset the handling. And that's before you stick some daft tyres on them.

Stick to 50-53mm off-set and no wider than 215mm tyres.

Thanks for the answer Hoppy!

Are only the rear the problem or will I have to modifiy also the front?

Hi Ric. I admire your determination! If you just put the wheels on, I think they will modify the arches for you LOL!

I don't know about the front. Certainly nobody has reported problems at that end I'm aware of.

But your asking for about another half-inch of clearance. That's a lot!

Good luck.

Hoppy.
