Engineers do their job to ensure that the wheels fitted on an unmodded body is "safe".
So if you put wheels on it and the wheels can clear the inner fender walls (without mod), then it means the wheel is "okay" to use.
So Near flush, or maybe 5-10mm under flush would be best suited.
Subaru is known to put BIG wide fender lips which require rolling to have any decent sized wheels, this is okay I think.
I do CRINGE when I see people have to "PULL" fenders out or put Cambers greater than suggested values.
You know your wheels are too fat if you have DEFORM the fenders to make them fit in.... and 10 degree cambers are silly.
Flush looks is fine, but if you have to PULL the fender and/or do ridiculous cambers.... your asking to damage your car's durability and performance.
With that said...
I expect them to come out with 17 x 7, 17 x 8 wheels as stock.
My general thumb of rule is +1~1.5 inch width is OKAY, and +1 inch DIAMETER is OKAY.
18 x 7.5, 18 x 9, would be excellent hehe.
And a bit disappointed with 100x5 PCD.....
114.3 is more tuner friendly, 100x5 PCDs are for tiny cars or econovans.... and yes I know WRXs and Legacys use this pattern, but they should all be same as STI now... which is 114.3.... so wheels can be used between cars easily.
