Here are 245/45-18 tires on 18x8.5 ET55 rims - fits just fine.

 A side view please! I would love the Rays STi wheels myself but way too expensive. https://www.sti.jp/en/parts/wrxsti_va/wheel/ST28100VV420/

Ok - will do tomorrow (it's dark now!) - the rims I have are on that site (https://www.sti.jp/en/parts/wrxsti_va/wheel/SG217VA000/) - I have the black ones

Just a side view, or are you looking for clearance between the wheel and strut/wheel arch?  (I have the black STi option rims for the VA series WRX (so the black 15 spoke ones - got a set brand new in the boxes for well under dealer cost!)

I have the same car and put 18x8.5 ET55 STi rims on mine with 245/45-18 tires (Pirelli PZero AS+ 3) and they fit just fine.

I've been looking on and off - this site seems to have decent info

Sorry - ET55 (same as the OEM wheels)

I'm running 245/45-18 on 8.5" wide rims and have no issues  (I'd want something wider on a 9.5" wide rim, but you'd be cutting it close running 255's...  might hit the strut

it's definitely a chip and not some junk on the paint from the transportation film, etc.?  (that comes right off with a clay bar, or with a little effort and a cleaner wax)

a lot of folks have had the service stop working for a little bit (for me it was a few hours) as well as some or all of the station icons disappearing with the USB update - they come back in a bit (took 3-4 days for me, or at least that's when I noticed all was well) - the thread over on subaruoutback.com has more info/input from folks who had issues

New, never installed - bought these back when I first purchased my 2012, but never installed them.  Includes everything (2 fronts, 2 rears, all the install hardware) - $30+shipping (MSRP is $110, online is $96)

I thought only the DCA updates were mandatory?  Apparently not!  The software version is weird, though - my car went from F61WMM033-681 to F91WMM053-880.  (I know that 033-270 was an older version, but haven't seen 043-270 - that must be the OTA update)

I ended up getting a brand new set of STi option rims for the 2016-2021 WRX (they are black 15 spoke rims - 18x8.5, ET55) with 245/45-18 tires (Pirelli PZero AS+ 3) - finally got it all together on Friday (with new OEM TPMS sensors) - they look great, definitely feel a whole lot more stable just cruising along than the Avid GTs and there's no rubbing!

Did you end up ordering the WRX TR?

I think the yellow stuff is what the white dielectric grease they smear all over that turns into with time.  If there's some acid migration/weeping happening, it usually has a wet appearance on the surface of the battery (and often the tiedown is the first part to show signs of corrosion) - one of the reasons I like AGM batteries are they don't do that.

If you go into service mode, does it show anything messed up when you look at all the devices?  Maybe try doing the memory reset from there? 

Just did one of the recommendations - changed out the wheels/tires for a brand new set of STi option rims (the 18x8.5" 15-spoke ones for the WRX sport package from 16-21 - got a brand new, still in the boxes set shipped for less than cost!) with Pirelli PZero all season plus 3 tires (245/45-18) - literally had them put on yesterday, but after doing a few 100 miles trips with the OEM Avid GT tires, I decided they were waaaay to squirmy and loud for me.  And I wasn't a big fan of the grey wheels that came stock on the 24 Sport.

Wish someone made a rear swaybar - Whiteline has one for the Outback - I figured with the new "global platform" things would be more swappable than ever between cars, but evidently not.

The latest update fixes the USB issue (where it would forget what song it was on more often than not when starting up the car) as well as a slew of other stuff - info in this thread on subaruoutback.com including a link to the latest software (installed via USB - can probably have it done at the dealership as well if you desire - no idea if it will come OTA (it's big - 4GB compressed, about 14.5 GB uncompressed))

i installed the autostop eliminator on my wife's telluride to give the button memory...on the telluride others have disabled it by pushing the button down and jamming something along the edge of the button to keep it depressed so it stays off...could try something similar i would imagine...just hold the button down shut the car off and turn it back on and see if it stays disabled...i chose the plug & play route cause i didn't want the hassle should it need warranty work

How hard is it to get to the connector on the back of the button?  You could probably just run a jumper across the right pins and accomplish the same thing without wedging something in place...

I definitely don't want any death crystals in my tires.

I have been looking at the autostop eliminator, but don't like the idea of plugging something into the eyesight camera module...  also - while I try to remember to turn it off when I get going in the car, more often than not I make it all the way home without it ever triggering - you have to push the brake pedal down pretty far before the system kicks in (I tend to brake then as you are coming to a complete stop, lift up a little on the brake pedal so that you don't get the abrupt "hard stop" (not sure how to describe it - it's something I have always done when stopping so that it isn't jarring when the brakes finally grab at the end)

Updates

It doesn't look like there is anything on pin 8 for the MY14 NAV.  Ground is pin 6.  The NAV is already set up to take a camera, isn't it?  I would think the main problem would be that the OEM camera is 5V and many of the aftermarket ones are 12V, so you need a step up transformer to drive them (that's what I did on my old MY12)
