Ok I switched the wheel to the other side and its the exact same story. Here's a few pics:
Wheel resting against the strut
A different angle
Rough estimate of how big of a spacer I need
18x8.5 +44 CE28N clearance. (Its about a 1 finger length gap between the strut and tire)
This is strange as I've seen 05+ STi's and WRX's fit these wheels in the back without any issues. I've even seen a few 03 WRX's with wheels with the same size/offset and also did not need spacers. However all those cars had coilovers and I'm still on the stock struts. I thought it may have something to do with the 04 STi's narrower rear track but I feel that may be a moot point.
Hopefully this situation will change after I pick up some coilovers. I'm leaning towards some TiC's or Zzyzx's (more rear clearance Yay!). Anyways thanks in advance for the help Clap, you'll probably be hearing from me again when its time to buy tires.
