I use 215/60/r16 (prev gen Crosstrek spec) sized Blizzaks. It gives me about an extra inch+ of ride height with no rub. Also fills out the wheel wells nicely on stock suspension.
Nice for cushioning the potholes come spring time, and giving more clearance for those really snowy days. The increased diameter also helps control the application of torque -- as someone else mentioned, the throttle mapping is quite sensitive on tip-in. Might also help a tiny bit with fuel economy too.

This is always a good and often overlooked consideration. Lots of these overpasses when you have those 270 degree, clover-shaped on-ramps. Tends to be the area where you typically merge, and are thus accelerating NOT in a straight line.
