I've went thru a lot of them.
Stickier tires isn't the problem w subie 5x100. Wide offset cause fast wear down.

My friend have sedan ver Impreza (GC6) and had stock wheels (16x7) w sticky tires for 9 yrs... close to 10 yrs (of course tires been replace every 1~2 yrs due to tracks/autox) and not til this yr he had to replace the bearing. vs me w 17x7.5 lil bit crazy offset first yr into crazy wide wheels, bearing went out... and next yr prob need to replace the again (4yrs since replaced it).
