Will these fit on my 02 Bugeye?! Please help!!
Evening all!
I am shopping around for some second hand gold wheels at present for my 02 Bugeye. I have spotted a set which seem a little too good to be true....but the offset seems way out to me....can these even fit on an Impreza?
Any help would be appreciated as to what offset range is acceptable.

They'll be fine, that offset is to clear Brembo's. You'll need 225/40/18 tyres though.
Also you may need spigot rings for the hubs and looks like they don't have centre caps either

Standard offset (ET) for a 7.5" rim is 53mm, so they are quite a way out, my 8" rims are ET 44mm
35 aspect tyres will feel a little more harsh on rough roads, but steering response should be sharper.
IMHO

P.S. Make sure the tyre's load capacity (rating) is high enough...

Forgive me for my novice question but wheels just confuse me! Am I right in assuming that a 37mm offset may put pressure on my suspension and the bug really isn't designed for this measurement?
Better to replace with cheap stock gold wheels?
