Getting a bit of a headache trying to read conflicting posts about wheel sizes..

I'm looking at getting a set of Team Dynamics 1.2's, my car is an '02 WRX.

Realistically, what is the size range I can go to, for a standard fitment? By that I mean straight swap, I don't want to muck about with arch rolling.

Also, am I right in saying a standard WRX wheel size is 17x7, ET55?

For the classic shape though right? OEM wheels for newage Imprezas are 17"

Basically, I'm trying to find out if I can get away with an offset of 45, with a 17x7 wheel and stock suspension. I'm 90% sure it'll be ok, but it'll be an expensive mistake and there's lots of mis-matched infomation online, what with the US sites.

Yup

I ran mine up to a 225/40/18 with a 7.5J RIM - which is hardly pushing it from standard.
