Hi. Can anyone tell me what the pitfalls are to putting 17" wheels on my 93 WRX? I am only looking at genuine Subaru stuff or possibly OZ. Just got the standard 15" ones on at the moment.

P.S Dont require a long explanation - just a quick overview.

No real pitfalls on this, just make sure that the wheels you select are 7x17 ( not wider ), ET 48 - 55, clear the 4 pot Sti calipers ( not sure if these were standard on the '93 Jap cars ) and don't go mad on tyre size ie. 205/45 or 215/40.
Hope thats brief enough for you.
Cheers
