+38 offset on bh5?

[iludez]

So I picked up another set of wheels, didn't even occur to me to check offset. As the guy said they are off a subie.
Turns out they are +38 and I'm sure my stock wheels are +48
I would assume these would stick past the guard?

Anyone ran lower offset like this?

Fairly sure stock are 17x7 +55

How wide are they?

Could be right on that actually. Just 7" wide

@McMasterJamie has a reasonably aggressive setup from memory. May be wider with less offset but can compare poke in willtheyfit.com

So will be a 50mm poke compared to 33.9mm.
I assume this will be a no go then with me being on coilovers too

Mine are 8.5 inch wide with an offset of 42 and I had to roll the guards. Pretty sure 7inch with offset of 38 shouldn’t be a problem. Depends what tyres are on them as well. I’ve now got 235 tyres and it doesn’t rub at all with rolled guards but I’m not that low.

I'll be running 215/45s.
I'll test fit them today and see if they stick out

I doubt that will be a problem but I may be wrong. If you are in my area I have a guard roller you could definitely borrow

I'm in Blenheim man. There's no one here who does guard rolling either

Ohh yup. I just did it myself, bought the tool, was cheaper than paying someone to do it. It’s pretty easy to do just have to make sure you don’t crack your paint. But if you need to borrow flick me a message I’d be happy to post it if you need to borrow.

Sweet man, hopefully I get some free time today to try it and will let you know if I need it

Looks like your right mate they still sit inside the guard, or at least on the edge.

Sweet! Nice and flush? Haha

[iludez]

As the cool kids say hella flush? I don't have tyres on them currently. And I need slim wheel nuts too. So I'll hit you up if I need to roll the guards man.

These are what I got. We're chrome. Now painted.

Well they stick out a bit more then I thought they would at the rear.

It'll be a very close thing, i suspect it will rub.

From the looks of the rear it definitely would be outside the guard

Time for another set then lol

Still considerably less aggressive than McmasterJamies, but top of the tyre could have the same issues as him and need rolling.

Do third gens have rear camber adjustment?

My setup looked way too far out in the rear before drop induced camber plus an extra half a degree from camber bushes

 

 

[iludez]

Got rid of those wheels. Decided to get my kosei wheels instead. So I've got them here and they are 7.5 wide with a 42mm offset.
Is this less aggressive then +38? They don't stick past the rear like the others did so hoping they just go on fine. Don't mind rolling the guards or raising the far up

If the width remains the same then yes, less track width. Higher the offset, narrower the track width.

[iludez]

Bumping this. So I'm looking at at set of 19x8s.

This is super aggressive I know. But the fronts seemed to fit perfectly. Didn't get to try the rears but I'm really keen to buy them.

 

I'd have to check offset as well, but when I looked I couldn't find a stamp.

 

Is there any way to make this work? I am pretty low and my stock 17x7s are tucked with about 5mm clearance to guard. If I rolled them could I get it wide enough to fit 9"?

19x8 or 18x9? Either will prob be a stretch when you turn corners or hit bumps and worse when you do both at the same time.

19x8. I can raise car up if that would stop any issues?
