cheers also if anyone has any the same as these 17 x 7 ?

i would be keen to swap plus cash extra for me a set of v7-v8 sti alloy rims in mint condition 17x 7.5"

My Subaru 17x7.5 55offset rims only just clear. Whats the offset on those?

[gtlegacy]

im not sure i think they are 48 but i also think its the shape of wheel where the calliper clearance is and they came on cars with big 2 pots not 4 pots so im guessing they wont fit as the 16" of them didnt fit and werent even close but my 17" from v7 sti clears with plenty of room hmmm

what are people opinions on anz rims?

or

looking at getting one of the two in 17 x7 but want it to poke out a little but not gaurd rub whats a good offset to ask for? will these wheels have a calliper clearance for 4 pots?

[Guest Bjcnz]

I like the last one

[BC5RA]

They will.

These are cheap copy's of popular (and vastly superior) Japanese Advan design.

Yes they are ANZ RG2's but also light weight

Have you weighed them?

[gtlegacy]

hey um when they say offset?

+38 +48 etc etc what does that actually mean and how is that measured?

from that you cant tell if it will clear the brakes can you?

Heaps of info on Google.

[BC5RA]

Advan RG2's are 6.9 kg.

8.3 is not bad for a copy.

[newsuba]

8.3kg is lighter than stock STi v7/8 17x7.5's, those are a whopping 9kg each.

Pretty sure your factory wheels are 7.0".

AFAIK no Legacies were fitted with 7.5's.

17x 7.5 Subaru wheels are usually ET53.

Ah right you are Mike. And of course my WRX 16x7 53offset rims also clear. But theres less than 2mm clearance between spokes and calipers

That's tight.

On my 17x7.5 ET53 BBS I have a huge 17mm clearance.

Maybe a little less when I had the stock 16x7's.

[gtlegacy]

hmmm is there a specific offset i need to clear the callipers ? or is it just the fact that some factory wheel were not made to fit larger brakes?

[newsuba]

Correct.

It's a combination of offset and wheel design.

[gtlegacy]

ok well i guess i will have to just test fit if the seller allows me to
