Default What size wheels can I use ?

Hi guys,

just wondernig if anyone knows what size of alloy I can fit on Impreza Turbo, X reg (00 I think). I have just put some EBC Disks and Pads on the front. It currently has 16" Standard alloys on, and I have seen some 17" WRX alloys

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...903511150&rd=1

Was just wondering if they would fit or not ?

Thanks

Size looks OK for a classic Impreza - 17x7" ET50 offset.

Correct tyre size is usually 205/45/17 or 215/40/17 as this is the closest match to the rolling diameter of your current 16" wheels.

If you look here, there is a tyre size calculator. Put in your current tyre size and those of the new wheels and see how it will affect your speedo reading.

Only other consideration is how much clearance you have from your Subaru 4-pot brakes with these wheels. Don't think it should be a problem, but it's worth checking this with the seller.
