Welcome Benjamin,
Please do NOT post your questions in other random topics.
I have extracted the above two posts from the "Ultimate Garage" and "Dinner, drinks, golf. Thursday June 28!" topics, and put them together here.

Note, most state road authorities will not allow you to go more than two inches more than the standard wheel size for the car.
There is sometimes a little leeway if there was another model variation in the same year that came with a larger wheelsize from the factory.

Not sure where you get your information from but this certainly isn't the case

The cheapest tyres are always the size with the greatest volume of sales, which these days is possibly 15". Just look around at how many Hondas, Toyotas, and other small cars are now running 15s. Definitely not 18s!

Here's a very cheap $195 set of Subaru 15" wheels on eBay at the moment (not the greatest in style but an upgrade from 14's):

Perhaps resprayed black or white (depending on your car color scheme) they might have some street cred.

Also found some black 16s here current bid is $50! (tyres would be a little more $$$)

Good luck!
