the company who told you to run 2 different sizes has basically told you to blow your transmission up lol , you cant run different on a Subaru as it will cause damage to the diff gbox etc

18x9.75 et 20 will be to aggressive , an et 35 would be maximum

I have 527's on mine that are 18" 8.75 all round. I have coilovers and really need to roll the rear arch even though the car is not set that low. I defo wouldn't go for the 9.75

tyre radius will be different as you will have to stretch the rears hence lowering the rolling radius from the fronts ,


whatever.. its not good
