Default wheel offset rota grids

hi guys was looking to buy some 18 rota grid drifts in 9.5 wide , they come in either 23 or 38 offset was just wondering if what other ppl have got just have a feeling 23 will be too wide and 38 wont be enough.

What size tyres are you thinking of getting? as if you got tyres that fit the wheel 'properly' wouldnt they hit the wheel arch if your car is lowered...? Ive seen someone with this exact set up but they had stretched tyres and I wouldnt want stretched tyres on a Subaru, dont trust them XD

Awesome man, looks great.

I take it they are a direct fit and no need to have any arch work done or camber bolts? No scrubbing on full lock or anything?

i had ago at rolling them myself reason being i bought some 8inch wheels and they rubbed so i grinded underneath arch out (that little lip on inside arch) so got told that my arch wouldnt rolled properly with the metal bein really thin so had a go doing them but im a painter so can fill arch out pretty easy. with 2ppl in car didnt have scrape now it just scrapes really lightly if hammering it round a corner with ppl in (tempted to get 5mm spacers for back lol)

Braver than me to grind your own arches lol...looks pretty close at the rear, and you say it only rubs when you have a car full and hard driving? That's not so bad.....you think suspension doesnt move as much as you think?

Won't you encounter more issues by adding rear spacers?

ye mate back pretty close lol but its nowt the rubbing doesnt sound back it only bad on corner with ppl in car hard driving . on weekend i pull them out too much so knocked them in alittle bit but was tempted to pul them out more and put 5mm spacers just to make abit bigger at back than front. you could pull the back arches out quite alot but then the wheel doesnt look wide so its trying just to get it right

Its good you yourself can fettle with them.
Have you needed to do anything with the fronts?
What about camber set-up, alignment etc?
