Which one do i need?

18 x 7.5 +48 4h x 100
18 x 7.5 +35/+45/+48 5h x 114.3
18 x 8.0 +35 4h x 100
18 x 8.0 +25/+35 4h x 114.3
18 x 8.0 +35/+48 5h x 100
18 x 8.0 +25/+30/+35/+42/+48 5h x 114.3

On my MY03STi I have the 18" OZ Prodrive wheels and they are;

18 x7.5 ET46 (i.e. the offset) with 225/40/18 tyres PCD is 100 part no. SACC2550.

Note 03's had 100 PCD and 04's went to 114.5/114.3 PCD, so make sure you know which you want.

HTH.

I have some Team Dynamics PR1.2 for my trackday wheels 18x8ET45 with 225/40/18 R888 and they barely miss the rear wheel arch (had to remove the rubber strip). So don't go any lower than ET45. These wheels will clear Brembos (although I have APs). Its not just offset you need to clear the Brembos as they are so large you need to consider spoke profiles. For example a standard 17" WRX wheel has the right ET but won't fit.

Diccy,

that offset is almost the same as mine it must be the 18x8 vs my 18x7.5 thats cause the tyres to be so near the wheel arch?

Simon STi,

You need to be very careful which wheels you choose. I ended up going for the Prodrive ones as I knew they fit properly. D1ccy's point about the spokes is very valid also as on paper the offset, wheel size etc would suggest they would fit but they don't.

As above, Offset might be right but spoke design could be wrong if they are not specifically Subaru fitment.

For your MY the PCD will be 5x100, later 05>STi and some earlier JDM cars have the 5x114.3 PCD.

Thanks everyone,
I was thinking of buying the Rota D2, I think the spoke won't clear brembo's
but i will call them up and check
Thanks!
