45-50 offset is better. However, couldn't see tsl supplying wheels with the wrong offset.

The std offset is ET55 or 53, our P1 option wheel had to be an ET53 to package properly so an ET42 wheel would be like fitting an 11mm spacer............

Following a recent thread on 215/35x18 tyres falling apart on an Impreza, what load rating are the tyres as 84 is not enough for an Impreza?

17" ET43's on mine just mean front wheel bearings must be replaced every year/18 months But you'll need to roll the arches or run agressive camber to not foul at least the rear.

Personally, I rate 18" wheels on the classic to be rubbish - they ruin the ride quality, probably due to tyre profiles?
