SO if I was looking at 17x7 enkei in a 40 offset that wouldn't work. what about another wheel that's 17x7 +45 would that work ?

Default 2018 wrx steel wheels

I'm looking to get a set of wheels/tires for my 2018 wrx. The stock wheels are 18" 245/40r18 dunlops and I'm looking to get 17" steel wheels. Looking to get 215/50r17 blizzak ws-80s on tire rack and they recommend a 42mm offset 17x7 steel wheel. Would this offset actually fit my car right? I am new to the car scene and just want to get a steel wheel that fits right, not just fits.

I'm running Volk Racing 18x10 +35 with 265 35 18 on 2014 hatchback with Ohlins, all I did was roll the fenders....perfect look and clearance.

My car came with some bigger rims/tires. I don't know want to spend xtra money replacing them but they rub on my splash guards in front. Can I use a spacer? If so what size/kind?

I have seen posts going down as low as 35 or 38 without rolling, but usually these come with some caveats like, it doesn't rub unless I hit a big bump or have passengers.

40 is supposed to be safe, but due to differences in cars, a small percentage of cars may have issues.

45 should be completely safe.

Hey there, I have 18x8.5 rims with a +35 offset. What is the best performance setup so that there is no rubbing and etc. The meatier the better. I'm thinking about 235/45/18 but I'm not sure. Please help

Default 2002 RS rims on 2010 Forester

Hi we have a 2010 subaru Forester and also have a 2002 Impreza RS. We have 2010 17" WRX rims for the RS so have the factory 16" mags spare. From what I can work out the RS has 55mm offset and the Forester has 48mm offset. Would there be issues fitting the 55mm offset rims to the Forester?

Hello, I have a set of prodrive gt1s on my 04 WRX and will be upgrading to brembos this summer, wondering if a 5mm spacer will be enough?

I'm not sure if I have the +48 or +53 offset. If I have the +53, would 5mm suffice since the +48 clears?

Thanks!
