I am new 05 wrx wagon owner. Just going to order the ce28n but not sure about the tire size and offset. It must clear ap 4pots and not rubbing the fender. Which setup is better? Pls help.

225/45/17 8J offset +44
or
225/45/17 8J offset +38

 

Unless you are going to roll your fenders, you need to get an offset closer to +50.

 

+44 will fit fine if they are 8" wide or less. 8.5" wide will be alignment dependent. You're on your own with brake clearance though, that's a pretty rare combo. The +52mm 17x8.5 CE28 will not clear STi Brembos, even with with 10mm of spacing.
