tire questions 😔

hi all, i am losing my mind trying to go down this rabbit hole and decided to just ask.

lifting a 2002 wrx wagon with forester struts. have a set of 16” steelies that i’m going to be throwing on, what tire can i safely run that will also fill in some of that gap at the top.

we did a test fit with my friends baja tires and there was just barely a fingers width gap by the strut tower. but at the same time they didn’t look tall enough for my liking 😭 the offset is also way different between his style rims and the steelies i wanna throw on. i am currently unsure of exact offsets but could find out.

camber IS also slightly off, also hoping correcting that will give me a little more room to work with.

i’m more than happy to make any needed modifications to safely run a tire that is both functional and pleasing to the eye. this is my first offroad build and i am LOST lol. thanks in advance for all the advice 🫶🏻
