Question 18" O.Z. Superleggeras 5x100 --> How to fit to a 04 Wagon?

Hey,

I've just started doing some research to fit my Superleggera's from my VW GTI (5x100 bolt pattern) to my 04 Wagon I just bought. I have found that the Subaru Hub bore is 56.1, and the Volkswagen is 57.something. The wheels are ET35. Tires: 225/40/18 Nitto 555's

So here are my questions:

1. What size of Hubcentric rings will I need? (www.1010tires.com is where I started my search)

2. Is there any problem with the offset of the Superleggeras (ET35)?

3. Will I have any fitment/rubbing issues?

35mm offset will cause the tires to rub on your fenders and premature bearing wear

yEAH.. ur offset is too much. I have 18x8 with +45 with 225 tires rolled my fenders half way still rubs on bumps and w/ ppl sitting in the back. Therefore, my wagon is a two seater now.. no one is allowed to sit in the back.

You may have to get your fenders pulled, and run some camber to get them to not rub. Just because people say it wont work doesn't make it so. Also coilovers would probably help.
