I got a pretty sweet deal on these wheels:
http://www.zeowheels.com/bz-12.html

I would like to know if I would have any problems with the offset of the 18x7.5" wheel. The tire I plan to run is the Pirelli PZero M&S or Bridgestone RE750 225/40/18. I will also have Tein S-tech springs which will drop the front of the car 2.0" and the rear 0.7"

I used the search, but I couldnt find any solid answers...thanks in advance!

the link you provided only shows a 42mm offset option which is too low for a Subaru and you will likely encounter rubbing and handling issues with those wheels ......


48mm is the minimum offset for your car

Before I say anything, I want to say that I agree with what the others are recommending. You're better off sticking as close to the stock offset as possible.

I have 17x8 +40 Ronals with 225/45/17 PZero Nero M+S's on my '03 WRX sedan. The fitment is to the edge of the wheel well but I have no rubbing/clearance issues even when the suspension is under a heavy load (@ stock height). However, I can't say if I would have rubbing problems if I lowered my car to the settings you mentioned (2" front, .7" rear). Here are a couple of pics:

I also got an excellent deal on my wheels and I have been very satisfied with the quality/look and even the ride/handling (compared to stock). However, I know I would have benefitted more (performance wise) if I settled on ones that were closer to the stock offset. ......I would stick with wheels that were ~+48 if I had to do it all over again.
