Depends on the width. Taller tires tend to get wider as well. Keeping stock suspension, you'll hit either the spring perch on the strut or the inner wheel well in the rear, depending on wheel offset and tire variations. With the Legacy (same platform, most of the same parts) 205 width are the safe limit on the stock rolling diameter (bigger can fit if you roll the wheel wells in the back, but you have to pick your wheel offset carefully). The bigger the tire diameter, the less the width you can fit. A cheap way around is to get Outback suspension, which will allow you some decent clearance with the strut on the inside (still have to consider the wheel well depending on the wheel offset you use), but will also jack the car up some. One of the great thing about Subarus is that they are like Legos in that so much is interchangeable (1990-1999 Legacy, Impreza, Forester, and much from the model years beyond that as well).
And don't be intimidated by rolling the wheel wells, if you need to, as it's easily done by rolling a bat between the tire and wheel arch.
