This is a Q I would've expected from the queen of tarts (Tang).
Please don't mate...chrome belongs on US barges...and SUV's in 22".

Christian,

Depends on the width of the wheel!

P1 18" wheels have an offset of ET53 (I think) but the wheels are 7.5" wide.

Normal 17" P1 wheels have a similar/same offset but those are 7" wide.

A 7" wide wheel can got to about ET48, if they get to ET45 there may be an issue with the wheels catching the lip on your rear arches.

Hope this helps
Andy

Ps - No I don't like chrome wheels, but do whatever you want to do, it's your car!!!

BK Racing do some good black chrome wheels in 18s for the impreza. I had some when they first came out a year ago and all the chrome came off. They kept saying that they would be getting a beter finish soon but I gave up waiting and went for League black widow but they only come in 17s. Now BK Racing are advertising two new wheels in black chrome (18s), they look the mutts but check with thier HO to see if they have changed the finish yet. (Look through any max power and I found swift mail order the cheapest)
