wheel offset
 

ive seen two set of wheels i like,which are 8x18" with offset of 33 and 37.
will these fit. can anyone explain wheel offsets.

Wheel Offset

Scott will probably be along to make sure but I think you need ET45-48, going with the ET37 against the ET48, the wheels would stick out further by 11mm

The smaller et the further they will stick out basically :EVO:

ET in the 30's is too low for an 8" rim. it will stick out and also look weird on an 8 inch.
Subaru's running 8" are normally ET45 - ET51

Two wheel offset calculators here :

I had et35 8x17's on my Ra.... Newages have bigger arches, they wont stick that far out mate

I know when I looked at going for a drift style on the Legacy, I was informed that it would require coilovers for the inner clearance.... maybe a consideration with the wheels you choose?

thanks guys,ive had 18"x8 et35 with 215/35 tyres. :ok:
