King and Scorpion both make Subaru lift kits IIRC. Effectively they are springs and strut top spacers, and they work reasonably well. As for tires, you still won't be able to fit a whole ton more underneath the car without some issues. I've seen pictures of 29" Swampers on a Subaru that was lifted, but I can't comment how well it works other than to note that it will put a TON more torque on your axles and wheel bearings, so be prepared to replace both at more frequent intervals. They'll also hurt acceleration, braking, and fuel economy more as you go larger. If it were me, I'd do the lift but not go much bigger on tires. I've considered doing a Forester/Outback lift kit on an Impreza to fit Forester/Outback tires.
