look at www.ozracing.co.uk which takes you to www.performancealloys.co.uk

then select make and year of Subaru model and on the list of wheels available they list the new WRC P1 alloy and a picture about 1/2 way down

Its the same wheel as fitted to Burnsies winning car ! supposedly

They'll fit, but you are gonna have to use some low profile tires to keep a good rolling radius. Something like 205/40 or 215/35? There are a few guys in the US running 18" wheels on their GC8 cars, they look HUGE! Hope you got some big brakes to fill those bad boys!
