Wheels from other Subarus fit on WRX?

[superfrog]

I have an '02 WRX, and I'm looking to buy snow tires. We have short winters
here, so I don't think I need to buy brand-new alloys for the winter (I'd
like to keep my performance tires on my stock rims). I'm not sure if other
wheels from Subaru models will fit on my WRX. I know this may seem like a
trivial question, but I'd like to know if anyone else has had experience
with this. Any help would be great.

Thanks

Jim

I am running 02 WRX wheels on my 97 Impreza Sport. The pattern works just
fine but you are looking at smaller diameter wheels and I'd make sure the
offset and clearance is ok......Regards, Jim

There's a tire size calculator on http://www.tirerack.com if you do
change the size of the wheel you will be able to find out what size snow
tire will give you the same outside diameter as your stock tires.

I poked around and couldn't find a link at tirerack, however, I have used
this one before
