ET48-53, you will find the prodrive alloys are ET53 (standard alloys also).
you may be best going for a cheap set of standard STI alloys as some wheels have difficulty clearing the Brembo brakes on the front.

So annoying bud! I didnt think it could be so complicated! Dont want to just chance buying any old 18s incase its a waste of money and we all know you need every penny with a scoob. My current wheels are 18 in split rim (rays) but in desperate need of a refurb but will be well worth the hassle when done

Prodrive wheels are ET46-51 for an STi ET53 are WRX fitment. As a very general rule anything 7.5" with an ET48 or lower is good to go in the popular ranges like rota, inovite, Team Dynamics etc.... Personally you cant go wrong with standard STi wheels as a spare set

Hello Fella's
I know it is a Monday morning but I cant get my head around this offset for alloys. If the offset is larger would that not lose you space/clearance for callipers as you need to push the wheel further into the arch? I may be talking utter rubbish(It wouldn't be the first time lol) but would appreciate it if someone could explain as I this doing my head in!! The reason I ask is that I have got some alloys to sell but apparently the offset isn't big enough to clear brembos. Cheers.
