Swapped the stock wheels (17x8+53) and tires (235/45R17) from our 2012 WRX onto the car yesterday and they're great. The fit was pretty tight up from with the strut, but it's fine. The extra grip from the larger tires is amazing and I haven't found that there's any loss in steering feel or sharpness in handling. I know it's a matter of opinion, but I really like the look, too. Just thought I'd share. Start bugging your friends to upgrade their WRX wheels and tires!
