Talking

Now I've spoken to Subaru Technical and they say the wheels are completely interchangable (which I knew...the PCD is identical). I am told their is a difference in offset but not such that it would make a noticable difference to handling.

Meanwhile I have a colleague whos opinion I value telling me otherwise???

Anybody care to offer their pearls of wisdom.

For MY 00 Revolution quote an offset of ET50
for their new 17" RZX wheel - priced @ £126.

Recommended tyre is 215/40 ZR 17.

They say that this wheel will accomodate any of the brake upgrade kits.

For further info. on their products contact
Warren McKiernan on - enquiries@revolutionwheels.demon.co.uk

Houlbt hi,

On some wheels the info you are looking for is -somtimes- cast on the wheel itself
usualy on the back side.

Hope this helps

Question

Help....

I'm a no-hoper with this offset business. Can anyone tell me the standard offset for a UK MY00 turbo? Is this +ive or -ive??? I know what offset is but I'm struggling for a definative answer to the actual offset for the car.

What offset value is optimum for the car and what range of offsets can be used without compromising handling (this is crucial)??

The MY01.... the 17" wheels that come as standard, what offset are these because I was considering putting some on my MY00? But I am having doubts as to compatability
