Default 17x7.5 ET35 on 2003 Blob WRX ?

Hi evryone ,

I`ve searched but didnt found the answer for the setup like i have .

I have a 03 WRX blobeye stock height with stock wheels 215/45 R17x7 ET 55

I`m now looking for new wheels size 215/45 R17x7.5 , now i can choose between ET 45 and ET 35.

Will i scratch if i take ET 35 ???

Thanks !

Oliver

Im also looking to fit some 17x8 ET35 BBS Style Rims to my 02 WRX Bug Eye.

I was thinking with Stretched Tyres they may fit.

Can anyone else add to this?

Cheers

8" width on an ET35 will be fine. Won't even need stretched tyres. Run a 225 profile tyre. Unless it's dropped silly silly low.

Thanks for the info Ste333

I was worried that the Wheel may foul on the Caliper or Strut.

Sorry for the post HiJack by the way
