u could put 235s since 2005, when the wheels became 8, rather than 2004's 7.5s..
And ye, stock STis had 225mm width in 05-06..

But if you look at the spec sheet from the site above, it lists 235 re070's as a factory size.

Thats the turn signal which has been on all GD Imprezas except US/Canadian models. I like it, the whole space looks too empty without it.

LOL. Some people actually go out and buy the parts to retrofit the JDM side signal on their USDM STI. I've thought about it. Who knows... maybe someday. Right about the time I do the roof vent .

Alright I know I said before like 5 posts ago that I didn't like the blinker, but I was just looking at it again and I kind of like it. lol

Maybe it has to grow on me like the 06 STI had to, but I definately don't hate that side blinker anymore.

Again, all those specs and pictures are of the JDM version, USDM will not have sidemarkers.
