Default Classic lowerd on 50mm springs!!! 17inch wheels biggest you can fit!!!

On the lookout for some wheels at the moment, and my classic impreza is lowered 50mm on springs with standard shocks, are 17inch wheels the max I can fit, or could I be brave and fit 18s under there???? anyone got pics???

Just worried that Im going to get lots of rubbing/grinding!!! Also what tyres would be best to use if I did go 18s????

I got 18's on my lowered classic. It rubbed straight away. Needed to get the arches modified. (Rolled). This was 13-odd years ago mind and there were not many wheel options. Can't remember the tyre size, i think they were 225/30. Cost me a pretty penny too. £3400 wheels and tyres.

Before you buy.....Classics as a rule of thumb
Handle better on 17s
Look better on 18s
