Usually about ET53/55 on standard wheels and depending on make about ET35-48 on aftermarket wheels.

Remember some wheels will be the right offset but the spoke design may not clear calipers, any particular wheel you are looking at and what breaks?
(Not that I could answer whether they would clear or not)

ET45 sounds better, quiet surprised they caught the rears on an Type R unless its been lowered, tyres on 18's 215/35/18 or 225/35/18 on classics.

Different makes of tyre can be slightly wider then others, I remember Michelins being a lot thinner in the same size to Toyo's on an old car.

For thebest answer, ask the supplier to confirm that they are designed to fit Subaru's and will definately clear 4 pots.

If they've come off a scoob that already had 4 pots on, or even Brembo's, then these will fit no problems but some rubbing issues may occur but shouldn't be a major issue I reckon.

Make sure that the the PCD is 5x100 and not form a 05 STi car as these definately won't fit.
