ET53 is the factory offset iirc. My aftermarket 18's are ET48.

If yours is a blob WRX then they won't fit. The later blob STIs and hawks had a different stud pattern. The only way to make them fit is to change the hub

PCD or Pitch Circle Diameter.

This is the diameter of an imaginary circle that passes through the centre point of each mounting hole. You will have the same number of holes but the wrong spacing & the wheel won't fit.
