Default Rota Grids

Hi,
I'm after some advice. I'm looking at putting some 17in rota grid wheels on my 98 type r impreza. Was wondering if I'd have to do any mods to fit these like spaces etc, and whether they fit over the standard subaru 4 pot calipers. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Matt

Does it matter about offset? I've seen them available with ET48 and ET45. Which of these would fit properly, fill the arches and clear brake calipers? The wheels are 17" by 7.5".

Wheels n offsets is one thing I can't get my head around! Any help would be truly appreciated.

you need to have a minimum of ET42 offset to clear the 4 pots as I have had to do the same on mine, if the standard offset is used then you would need 18s

I have got 17" Subaru option alloys on my Scooby with a offset of 42, I have a lightweight STI impreza import GC8C4ED version
