the only thing i can hope for is that the wheel manufacturers get privy to just how popular the car is and start making more aggressive wheel sizes/offsets that fit perfect.

hubs are ridiculously simple products and since subaru uses studs, they could drill any combination at production without too much trouble.
i don't think we'll ever know why a manufacturer would bounce around a 14mm variable :/
and if they are using off-the sheft units, you gotta remember that hubs for non-drive wheels are different than those with axles in them. Subaru has a small offering of their vehicles in FWD option, so their rear hubs would be closed off, but... to say that they are using a surplus of FWD rear hubs to put in the front of the FRS/BRZ/FT86 is kinda off the wall
