Wheels and offset

[4Palta]

Hi guys, I\'m thinking to change the look of my Lancaster and I was considering something like this

Found in other forum this ones has 55mm offset, and my Lancaster has 48mm... so, that means if I put that one will be more "outside"?? Will affect in something?... does anybody here have this kind of wheels in a Forester or Outback?? How it look like??

I like the design of this ones, but not sure if I\'d like how will look on my car with that offset.

Palta, if you can get ahold of some GTB or wrx wheels they\'d suit your lancaster sweet as. I\'m not sure which year model impreza had the stud offset changed to 5x114.3 to suit other five studs if I recall, so watch for that, but V1-V8 wrx (don\'t quote me) should be sweet, and they\'ll make your lancaster have a bit of flair, without looking too try hard. also, the wrx wheels some of them come as 16\'s they\'re probably the best size for all round everything, not too much sidewall, but not too little give, though the tyres for 16\'s do cost more.

Look here http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f72/subaru-oem-wheels-fit-forester-19106/ ... all the rims for Outback and Forester has 48mm offset, and all Legacy and Impreza 55mm... just STi models has 53mm, so even going with some GTB (I know are pretty hot haha) it will be 55mm offset :-\

I\'m not sure if its a good idea or not.. ???

I think you\'ll be ace, and if you\'re really worried about it, you can get spacers to compensate for the larger offsets.

the larger offset just means you may experience some rubbing is all ;D
