will these fit ??
was just wondering if these wheels will fit my 1994 wrx jap import wagon,they are a 17 inch wheel by 8" im fitting 215 40 17 toyo proxi t1s,s to them will this be okay?will i have any issues? also they are only a 42 offset so will be having to use a 3mm spacer to make them to the right 45 offset this is the correct offset yeah? was not sure if i should get a 5mm spacer instead incase the width of the wheels will make them not fit or will the 3mm be okay? thanks for any help i get regarding this matter could do with a speedy response as i have to order the spacers real soon thanks again chris

The lower the offset number, the MORE they will stick out from the hubs.
So, if you add spacers, the wheel will be out further, thus will rub on the outer wheel arch I suspect!!
For example, an et50 wheel, will sit nearer to the suspension strut than one with et40. ie: you CANT get et50 by adding a 10mm spacer to an et40 wheel (it will actually be closer to et30)
Hope this helps.

thanks been told by a local company rally nuts to not use spacers they actually work out on the back to be the perfect fitment will just stick out a little more on the outer edge but should be fine cheers for your help
