You just have to search for more narrow wheels. People who put such narrow tires on wide wheels are just....silly(being nice about it) A 265 belongs on a 9.5, not a 245. I dont understand why people feel the need to add more weight by buying an unnecessarily wide wheel.

For this car and what most people want out of it, a 245 or even a 255 tire out back will be all you need for sufficient grip, while people doing higher hp builds will find more use out of a wider tire.

We share the same bolt pattern as wrx's and early sti's and given that they are AWD do not need wide tires. There are several narrow wheels for narrow tires out there in this bolt pattern if thats what you are looking for. It all comes down to that, what you want.
