Just quietly, it seems you can go to 43 on the new car (but don't hold me responsible for any "after effects" 
). I have 48s on my Legacy (with skinny wheel wells) and no contact (at std ride height, or track days too).
A couple of cars I have seen here have had VERY aggresive tyre/wheel packages that REALLY fill those big arches/wheel wells - and have a huge footprint too (big bucks indeed).
The STI wheel (also from Rays) will clear them too (according to the STI site).
Take a look at the Prova wheel too - big money but I hear they are excellent. http://www.jprova.co.jp/parts/wheel.html

Tks for the replies. I won't be surprised if an ET43 wheel in 7.5in width can fit. Those flares are huge and certainly look like they're capable of holding wheels pushed out another centimeter.
The cars in the auto salons may use spacers on their wheels. They're all for the "show look" anyway, so I'd be careful before using them as a firm guide.
Pete: you have mail.

Mike,
Sorry to hijack the thread, but will the STi7 wheels fit on a std WRX as I'd like to know officially before making an expensive pratt of myself (more than normal anyway)
Thanks
