We've never done an ET47 wheel!!
Std wheels are either 6 x15 ET55 or 7 x16 ET53. Our recommended offset in 17" is ET52 which won't give you any issues with clearance etc. Most aftermarket wheels aren't made in offsets this high so you'll get offered wheels in the offset range of ET42-45 as the highest if they aren't Subaru specific. Don't be tempted as they WILL catch the wheel arches.

Oh ok, Sorry Mike, I stand corrected.
I'm sure i saw recently someone selling some "prodrive" rims with an ET of 47, but obviously they were not qenuine. Thanks for the info.
