RenaissanceMan Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Do you have a 5 lug conversion or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scooby Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbone Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 (edited) My ADR Sokudo 17x7 have a offset of 48mm. WRX wheels have a offset of 55mm Edited April 26, 2009 by Turbone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Turbone Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Its photogenic, meaning it takes good pics. In person it has lots of dings and rock chips. Hope to get that fixed this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxerbob Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 My ADR Sokudo 17x7 have a offset of 48mm. WRX wheels have a offset of 55mm so from your wheel specs and suberdaves i should stick to something in the 40-50 area. thanks for your input ! nice RX btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rllywgn Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 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.

Caboobaroo Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
