Hatch WRX wheel width and offset
Looking to get new wheels/tyres for my wife's 2007 WRX hatch (WRX, not an STi).
Standard wheels are 17"x7" ET55, and I'm looking at 18", probably 7.5" but maybe 8", running 225/45x18" tyres rather than 225/40x18" to correct the speedo error.
Can anyone confirm that 18x8" will fit under the non-flared WRX arches, or should I stick with 18x7.5?
And what sort of offset should I be looking for?

Hi Tim
Think 8JX18 should be OK on yours with 225/40 R18 without the massive modification,maybe camber bolts will be needed
Best bet if you could PM here Mags,he is away on holiday and he will PM you back.He help us several times with the our questions about the alloys/tyres
