But running 9'' will give u about 20mm less outer clearance and about same inner clearance assuming stock rim is 7.5'' and 55mm offset. If u plan to run more negative camber to clear guard, it might hit the shock.

Correct, RPF1 17x9 +45 with 255/40R17, however these are on the later model so there might be some differences here and there.
Appears to be plenty of clearance between the caliper and rim in my situation.

If you hit a brick wall with trying to get info on this setup, see if you can find a member of these forums in Perth and I can arrange to meet up with them and attempt a test fit to see what the clearances are.

Did you check the wheel fitment thread: keep it drama free thread on NASIOC?
I did some searching (RPF1, 17x9, etc) on there when I was doing my research and I vaguely remember some people fitting the 17x9 +45 onto earlier models of the WRX.
Might be worthwhile having a look into.
