Have you modded your L-Series with 5 stud hubs? The WRX rims are 5 stud and the standard L-Series hubs are only 4, so without the mod they won't bolt up.

that didn't exactly answer his queston lol
but wouldn't it all depend on the outside diameter of the tyres he wishes to put on.
youd have to work that out and then post it up and someone on here will know wt the maximums are for tyres without any major trimming and bashing.

im not sure eitherway

I stuck a 215/45/17 on my leone one day just to see what it would look like. Looked good but a 40 series tyre would be better.

He does have an important point though. If a 5 stud conversion isn't done on the L - then the wheels will not go on.

They should fit ok, if its lowered you may have to 'make' some extra clearence.

I am running my99 16x7 with 205/50s on an 86 sedan. Front control arms are 25mm longer and have a little more offset on the rear than the crossbreed kit.
The guards are filled out very nicely. Yet to lower the rear, but nothing is scubbing yet.

approx rolling diameters
205/40R17 596mm
205/50R16 611mm
205/70R15 668mm
