Sorry just saw the bump to this thread.

I have been running the MY2011 WRX wheels and tires (235/45/17) this summer. It rubs at full lock (stock alignment).

In the past week, I added 5 mm KIC spacers to all four corners which helped with the rubbing issue (now GONE). HOWEVER, due to the spacers not being hub centric, I got a little vibration at high speed (85+ MPH).

EDIT:
I also want to point out that the WRX stocker MY2011 wheel/tire combo is way grippier than the stocker Michelin. Imagine how good this car can handle if you put some serious rubber (not the Dunlop Sport Maxx from the WRX)... Also, from all the threads I have read so far, by the time the tires are worn, I am getting 225 series tires. 235 weighs too much.
