Hmmmm ive been thinking about rims... Now i know i would like to have yours Harry but something about me wants to get different ones, lol!

 

Now im not sure if these will actually fit on my ride but they do look pretty sweet, might need alittle fixing but not bad if i do say myself.

Should fit. Might need some work but they arent insane

If only they where the concave edition ones.

Look pretty good. Shouldn't have any problems with fitment. But from memory staggered wheels and AWD might be an issue. Can anyone shed some light on that issue?

As long as the tire diameter is the same it shouldn't be a problem.

They were mine.

 

Listed on IM originally when I bought them as 17 x 8 all round no mention of staggered sizes. When they landed, two were 8's two were 7's. Aaron bought them back.

 

Id go staggered offsets on a Subaru, not staggered widths.

From everything I have read staggered wheels on Subaru's aren't a good idea.

Staggered wheels (Different width front and rear) on anything with a centre diff is asking for trouble.

It'll be fine for a while, But during full lock turns you will be damaging the centre diff.

Changing the way the wheel sits in the guard with spacers is your best option. Or you could just do the maths/internet research and work out a wheel dimesions/offset/tyre size, body mods and suspension adjustments to suit your car.

Thanks for the advice Cam. i might have to look alittle more into this i think...

Buy wheels -> convert to RWD. Problem solved.

As has been said, stick with all 4 wheels that are the same. I've gone out and found a 5th CR Kai rim just so the spare is the same.

[CRUISN]

How about these? JDM 17 x 7.5 +55



Only 3 atm..... theres a charcoal one on IM for $170 landed, but im waiting for a mint shadow chrome one as these three are in excellent condition and a repaint in shadow chrome is $$$.
