Why do you have to be aware of the very low offset wheels ? FAO JIM THEO or anyone that knows the answer.

Foul the calipers, rub arches or upset geometry.

Does this mean the 'Rally Gold' Sti P-WRC1 wheel – 7.5” x 18” (SACC2550) running 225/40 will do this on a 53 plate WRX ? - I believe they are offset for a Brembo Brake.

Nope they'll fit no problems and should not cause any problems.

Many wheels designed for the Brembo STi's will fit WRX's and classics with no problems except MY05 wheels which have a 114PCD.

Personally got Speedline Turini's running 225/40/18 with an offset of ET48 on my WRX but they'll also clear the STi.
