As for the wheels, you can use 16" or even 15", they clear stock brakes and also Subaru 4/2 pot calipers since that's what I had. Method makes a few good rally wheels, and a 205/75/15 (27" diameter) will be the same diameter. It would be better if you can find a 205/70/15 (26.3" diameter).

I had coilovers at 1/2" under stock height in both these pics.

You're biggest limiting factor is diameter. Forget about thinness of the tire for now. 27" will fit if you modify the front bumper to clear during turns, but ideally you want a 26" to 26.3" diameter to fit with no issues.
SWEET! I want 15", but I was under the impression they wouldn't clear the brakes.

Method 502 VT-Spec wheels look good, with General Grabber tires maybe.

Thanks for the info, especially the tire diameter. I must have done the math wrong.

EDIT: 501 VT-Spec, not 502. Wrong offset
