I currently have 165/80/13 tires mounted on them, as per manufacturer's spec. Will these rims accept a slightly larger, more easily find-able size, like 175/70/13?

I would think they would probably work.

14" sizes are much easier to find if you can hunt down a set of 14" wheels.

are the 13s 5 lug?

the 13's are 5 Lugs I used to have a 95 imrpreza FWD and yes the tire size is hard to find anything on it...

 

That's one subaru I don't really miss at all..

Yeah, the 13's are 5 lug. Does anybody know the rim width off-hand?

Probably only 4.5" or somewhere around there.
