Remember, if the backspace is the same as a stock sube wheel, the only clearance issues would have from tire to suspension is with the interaction between tire and wheel and the resulting sidewall "bubble" ya, but if i does rub on the strut does that mean it will rub in the back too? -

^^^ yeah i was going to say something but im not going to argue, better seen than heard. -
lets see.... buttoned my car up, bled the brakes, torqued EVERTHING, figured i might as well paint the drums while the rear tires were off ( sorry no pics ) so i did that and took it on a drive expirimented with the shifting curve, shifting @ 5000 sound good if i really want it to pull. it winds out at about 5200, but it pulls really well at about 4600 ish in the lower gears. i tried to climb this big rump roast hill ( 25-30 degrees, 100 yards ) started to power hop at the top, and i didnt want to break an axle shaft so i put it in 4wd. the craptachi is REALLY crappy cause now that i think of it my subie is starving for some oxygen. soon to do, rear suspension, weber swap, and cap and rotor, oil change+seafoam!

unless you are wanting more performance, then drill your hubs/drums out to 6 lug. if you want impreza performance, and five lug wheels then i guess... -

why do you say that? it is alot more work, and cost more, and i like the selection of wheels for 6 lug preferably.
