I will try to remember to post a pic tomorrow of my '05.
I have the XT Limited (Sholz - see my PM). I went from a Passat (V6) to the Outback.
The XT does include bigger wheels (17's). I do like the bigger tires - plus they are Potenza's - so not cheap tires. You may want to check the specs on the tires on the other cars.
The car does have some side body roll - but not much even compared to my Passat.
Other options that I selected - 5 speed, the OEM roof bike rack, OEM sub-woofer upgrade, upgraded security, heavy rubber mats, cargo net and rear cargo screen. I chose silver for color.
I just recently replaced the cheap 30W factory speakers with MB Quart all the way around. I also Installed professional tint and silver pinstripes.
My only complaint is the the factory 6-Disc HU is heavy on the bass and gain side. I had to adjust those all the way down in order to enjoy quality audio. But this is very minor. I love the drivability of the car and it sounds good too - dual exhaust was a surprise and it handles the mountain fire roads just fine! :-)
