1. you would need it widebodied....a lot As 7,5 is a problem really on standard car. In fact I sitll have nightmares concerning finding wheel/tyre combination that would fit our show-car and not catch somewhere

2. You need to have identical overal wheel diameter front and rear. The tolerance is about 2 percent, which is about the difference betwween partially worn and new tyre. If you can find different size tyres that will have the same overal diameter then you are OK to go theoretically although I wouldn't see any sense of it. On Imprezas you generally tend to have problems with understeer and front tyre wear so why fit bigger tyres on the rear?
