55 offset on 03 STI

I know 03 STI should have a maximum offset of 53, but what are the problems of using a wheel that has an offset of 55 on a 03 STI??

Might have clearance issues with front calipers. These are tight with OE 53 offset wheels.

Yes the bigger the offset the nearer the wheel gets to the car and smaller offsets move it out. My track day wheels are 45mm and are are tad close to the wheel arches at the back.
