Hi

We fitted a set of these in 8.0x18" to a New Age a little while ago.

They really suit the car I think.

Thanks

I've been running a set for a year now, if you get ones with chunky offsets you will need to get the rear arches rolled, I get a little rubbing on hard bumps. I like the look but might get mine repainted darker, not quite the other colour they come in though, hyper black.

Sorry for reviving an old thread, I've got a 2005 blobeye WRX with standard suspension.

I know my PCD is 5x100, what width & offset would I need? And I'm guessing also springs? And arches rolled?

Cheers.

Its more a case of what you can get hold of. I have 8" wide and 35 offset. the sit level with the arch more or less.
Im having very slight rubbing athigh cornering speeds, so not sure on the diagnosis to help you yet!

Same model (see my wrx above) with 18x8 35 offset. They do rub a little so arch rolling would sort.

you'll need a 3mm+ spacer to clear front brembos.

mine are 8.5" wide with et35 offset as above on my blob STI. 3mm spacer did the trick to clear the brembos. if your not too low, you wont need to play with the front arches.

Thanks again.

I bought some lm reps from then years ago for my mk4 gti ...

They were really nice wheels. Looks don there though and couldn't see subaru fitment but knowing that 3mm spacers may do the trick I might be in luck :-)

Probably all dare reps, I had them on my tt turbo and had no probs but you do hear rep horror stories.

. . . and youd be looking at 1k+ for genuine ch's with concave centres
