need 17's to get the tires i want. and its already a close call with 205 wide wrx wheel setup in the rear. what offset wheels should a look into? i don't care for a little sticking out.

Do you have a 5 lug conversion or something?

im sure he has 5 lug since he is looking for a rim offset in a 17inch and the fact he has been here for years.

hell yeah 5 lug. it was cheaper to go get them from virginia myself at the time too so i drove from cincinnati to roanoke in one day to have them.

 

trying to figure out if a should go with normal wrx offsets or not. don't have the normal tools to measure stuff like that

My ADR Sokudo 17x7 have a offset of 48mm.

 

 

WRX wheels have a offset of 55mm

That`s a Beautiful Subie For Sure... Lookin` Good on Five Lug Setup.

 

So, Greater Offset could make the Tire to Rub the Car`s Body, isn`t it?

A greater offset would cause the tire to rub on the strut, trailing arms and other inside parts.

A smaller offset would cause the tires to rub on the fenders.

Wheel width also has a effect.

Daaaammmnn that's clean.

Its photogenic, meaning it takes good pics.

In person it has lots of dings and rock chips.

Hope to get that fixed this year.

Thanks for the Answer!

im running 18x7.5 prodrive p1's with a +53 offset. 215/40/18 is as much tire as i can get under the car with rubbing in the rear on the torsion bar. with a +48 i could go a little wider on the tire.

 

I'm running 17x8 45mm 5x100 Enkei RPF-1s on my RX. Had a little rubbing in the rear on the wheel well but with some rolling, took care of that issue... I'm even lowered quite a bit...
