From memory for 17"s on Impreza
classic is 205/40/17 OEM
newage is 215/45/17 OEM
correct me if your owner's handbook says otherwise
for the calculator go here http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_size_calculators.html and scroll to 'Comparing tyre sizes'

On a classic 205/40x17 is an option but it is the cheap option (and quite a common option due to wheel/tyre pacakages from aftermarket suppliers offering this size) due 205/40's are cheaper then 215/40. The preferred size is 215/40x17
