A +45 offset would be perfectly fine.
Aftermarket wheel offset
Hello i am new to the forum i just bought a 2004 wrx a couple days ago and was wanting to put some nice aftermarket wheels on it like koing or motegi racing. I want to put 18x8 wheels on it. i have no problem finding the 5x100 bolt pattern but can seem to find ANY wheels i like with over +50 offset. The most i could seem to find was +45. I plan on putting some coilovers on the car in the future too and was wondering how those size rims would look or even fit. thanks please help me out it would be greatly appreciated!!!

what would be not okay? i guess if you start getting under +40? and would +45 still be okay if i were to get a wider rim? lets say 8.5 or 9?
What coilovers?

BC racing coilovers most likely
Consider investing in some decent hardware. It's rarely a good move to cheap out on suspension.BC racing coilovers most likely

I thought they were pretty decent ones

They are not.
They are bottom-of-the-barrel.
A good rule of thumb for coilovers:
<$1200 -- cheap (budget)
$1200- $2500 -- mid range
$2500 -- high end
FYR, a good spring/strut combo will set you back around $1200 and greatly outperform budget coilovers.

I am a high school student on a budget so that leaves me with few options lol
KYB GR2s are great OEM replacement struts for low cost.I am a high school student on a budget so that leaves me with few options lol

In that case I would steer clear of coilovers altogether.
Whats your purpose for the coils? Is it mainly for performance, or are you just looking to lower your car? If you just wanna lower your car like Zax said you could pick up a set of KYB GR2's and put on a set of lowering springs like the Eibach pro kit. Again that's only if youre looking to lower the car. If your goal is performance, save up until you can afford a quality set of coils as stated already. Either way congrats on the new car, I would have killed to have a wrx in highschool!
Mainly to lower the car but thanks! Ive been saving up money for awhile ill do some research in lowering springs
Yeah a strut and lowering spring sounds like it would work the best for your specific application. Like you said read and do research on which lowering springs are best and grab those the struts and be happy!
