I picked up these 2013 WRX 17X8's (they were black but I FIXED that ) fitted with 235/45/17 tires. Totally stock suspension set up, no spacers, just took the old '05 WRX 16's off and bolted these right on. No rubbing anywhere, even under "spirited" driving conditions with the rear fully loaded with all of my fishing gear (I'm not talking just a few rods and reels either).
I figured I would share this for anyone wondering if 17X8's wound fit on their BH... happily they do.
