Claw Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I mounted the wheel on the car last night (no tire yet) and they stick out a bit. I'm worried that I might have bought the wrong offset. On the back of the wheel, I don't see any numbers that match up with what the offset could be.. is there a way to find out? Here's an image of it on. The car is on the jack, hence the angle is a bit off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X2Board Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I'm running the same wheels with a 51 offset, they didn't look right till the car was sitting on the suspension. They looked just yours do as a matter of fact. X2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I think that's about right - at +51 offset. I've never mounted just the wheel itself to my LGT, but I would imagine that they'd (mine are also 51 offset) look like that, without tires, and without load on the suspension. Look on the INSIDE of the wheel, the size and offset will be stamped there. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Is it an 8" wide rim? Usually with an 8" rim +48-ish offset is recommended.. It might stick out a little more with +51 but I'm not sure it will be that big of a problem. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach V Dan Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 PFF-7 only come in +51mm offset in 18x8, 5x100 bolt pattern. Don't worry, they'll fit just fine. --Dan Mach V FastWRX.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, a +51mm offset will be 3mm closer to the strut than the exact same wheel with a +48mm offset. -Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
