I definitely appreciate the input. I'm new to this, so it's been a crash course over the past week trying to figure out what exactly it is that I want. I'm not looking for that hella flush look or a deep sunken in look. Just something that looks good. The only downsides I know of about running a staggered setup are understeering and not being able to rotate tires.

Some people like the staggered look while others don't , why not just go with the 9.5's all the way around no need for a spacers and you can still rotate your tires . Also you never mentioned you were doing any suspension mods but wide wheels on a stock car is just going to look funny also rethink your tire size .

Not going to go as wide as 9.5 in the front. Depending on how far I drop it there is a tab that will slice the tires and I don't want to cut fenders.

Thanks for the help guys! Sorry to disappoint, but I will not be going with the Works --as much as I love them--. I found a wheel that I have absolutely fallen in love with: Forgestar F14.

I'm actually picking a set of those up sometime soon for the WRX. I haven't decided what color I'm going to make them yet.

I'd rep you for having good taste, but I have to spread it around.

That version of gunmetal would actually look awesome on the dark gray TL, but that silver is pretty hot .
