roll the rear fenders, my buddy has the same set of wheels and thats all he did

 

......

I guess what I was asking is anyone run a special offset wheel to get a deeper set back wheel face.

I currently run 18x8s with no rubbing so rolling my rear fenders isnt what I was after.. Thanks tho.

 

there's a guy on nasioc with these rims size 18x8.5 40et.

 

Deep dish is tough to play with, but when done right look tasteful. On my old VW I was running Et 30 front ET 15 rear with no rubbing. I think a 40 ET or 35ET would look pretty good on a scoob.

 

You think I should stagger? I dont rotate my tires anyway... They usually dont last long enough.

Also within a months to a year or so I am going to get an STi and want to swap as much of my cars stuff over as possible. Does anyone know if they offer wheels with the WRX pattern and the other pattern is the STi pattern?

I had kinda thought that 40 would do it, but also kinda thought that my current wheels were 40.

 

I am not sure of your question,but 2005-up STis have their own bolt pattern. So if you want to bolt your WRX wheels to an STi,you will have to get a 2004 STi.

 

The question seems to boil down to:

What wheel is available in 8.5"+ widths, with deep dish lip, and with dual bolt patterns (5X100 and 5X114 on the same rim)?

I'm not even shopping for wheels but feel this is a terrific question and the answer is probably worth mention in a reference thread. Anybody?

 

i know some ebay wheels have that.

I think it'd really weaken the wheel though. Probably why most companies don't do it. (TMK)

 

I really don't like work meisters a lot people on the Z forum have them I think they look weird. Maybe they'd look better on a Wrx though. "deep dish" does look nice though in moderation.

 

I thought Id might like to try and see if I could get a 2" dish for the rear. Havent had any luck tho. I guess Im going to stick with what Ive got.

 

hhhmm weird, I know that most honda wheels are 4x100 and 4x114.3 I figured theyd also make them in 5x100 and 5x114. I may just stick with what I have and figure out what I want to do when if I get an STi, I may want it pretty toned down anyway since Im really looking for a limited.

 

I had some 18x9 with a +40 offset on my old impreza and they had about 2 inches of lip...

 

they were made my Tork.... not the most expensive wheels but they were pretty light and looked good.

 

sorry should have posted some pics...

 

dont think that would work as low as Bo is..

Bo, I've got 17x8 48et offest, with 245s. I had to roll my rear fenders, and that's with DF210 Tanabe springs on stock struts.

The 48et on 8" width puts my front wheel lips even with the fender, nearly.
and less of an offset, and I'd crash up my fenders... :thumbdown

 

hey i was wondering a few things:1) what are the specs, size of the front rims in this pic? tire size? are the front and the rear the same? did you have to roll anything? do you have stock suspension? please email me at bluedrib @ yahoo . com.
i am getting a 02-03 wrx when i can find one. just had these questions thanks
