I've been told that OZ Superleggeras are only available in 18" x 7" fitment(with correct offset)for the MY02. Is this correct?
I'm sure I saw I guy on Scoobynet(somewhere in the North West- a UK300 lookalike )who had fitted a MY02 with 18" x 8" OZ Superleggeras. I've been told that the 18" x 8" OZ Superleggs do not have the correct offset for the MY02.
Can anybody help?

Thanks Guys!
Nick didn't mean to offend by saying it was UK300 lookalike just trying to jog peoples memory. The car looks a top motor and the fact you have 18 x 8's made my mind up that I want some too!
Not very original I know but if you like em you like em.

No probs and no offence taken!! Glad you like it.I think OZ have changed the gold colour on the wheels this year so they may be a slightly different colour now when you buy em!!! (They look even better with the Prodrive springs that I have fitted now!)
Will post pics in the next couple of weeks

Cheers

Ermmm,not sure of the offset off hand to be honest.I bought them from Alloytechwheels up in Oldham.Mark (Who comes onto Scoobynet actually) is a top bloke and did me a good deal with Toyo T1-S's but to be honest,when my tyres need changin I'm gonna try the Goodyear ones,so worth considering that brand too!
His number is 0161 627 1443.Tell him you've got his number from me!

Good luck

Nick

P1 fanatic I know what offset is. The trouble is this I was sold some wheels by a firm who insisted that the 18 x 8 did not have the correct offset for the MY02 and taking them at their word I purchased the 18 x 7's instead hence the original post. So in laymens terms offset stopped me from getting the wheels I wanted!

Soobyman,
Both spoiler and the wheels you mention are genuine Subaru accessories.My wheels are different to the OZ wheels that Subaru sell as Prodrive items.I think the one's you're referring to are the PFF7's?

Good luck and get that money spent.You know it makes sense!!

Cheers

Nick
