Unlikely because you'd have to fit all 4 and test drive it, plenty of 2nd hand suppliers out there with that size, one in Forrestfield and another in Balcatta from memory but the standard WRX rim will drop straight in so compared to what you want.

Tire Size Comparison

Not a huge amount of difference but your speedo will be up to shit and the gearing won't be as good off road.

Better option if available would be
