On your web site it says the Subzero's are +48 offset. But the ones I just ordered from you say +45 offset on the boxes.
The +45 offset should fine right? I'm getting 225/45 17 tires for them.
Thanks,
Colin

Do they also say 5x100?
they should be 5x100, 17x7.5.
If they are, 45 offset will be fine, however, i have a feeling they are not 5x100 in this case.

Yes they do say 5x100 on the boxes. Thanks.

The only other issue youy may run into is hub bore size. If they seem to no be hubcentric, give us a call, and we'll see if we can score you some rings.

I just ordered these like 3 weeks ago.. I thought all Rota's fit these days without any rings.. ?
How do I tell if they aren't hubcentric?

48 offset wheels are subaru specific, meaning they are hubcentric. The 45 offset wheels fit, but may not be hubcentric. When you put the wheel on, you will see that either the wheel bore is too small, and won't slip over the hub OR that the wheel bore is excessively large, and the hub cannot support and center itself within that much space. I would call the shop, and let them know the information on the box. This is the best way to find out wether you need rings, or to see if you'd like the correct 48 offset wheels exchanged.
Personally, those 45s tuck in better than the 48s, are probably more sought after by wagon owners and RS owners. People who have the tendency to rub on 225 tires, that 3mm could go a long way in relieving that.
Give the shop a call, and we'll straighten this out.

Yes they are. I'm assuming you will be getting the correct ones soon?? Oh, and I made a mistake when i said these would tuck in better. Actually, 45 offset would stick out more!
But I'm sure you're being taken careof!

Yeah, I'm being well taken care of actually. They were all packed up and supposed to be sent out yesterday. I didn't get my tracking number yet though..
