Noob wheel question
 
I have a 2012 WRX, and have been considering new wheels for awhile now. I have settled on some Work Emotions, either the XD9 or 11R. The XD9's I like are 18x9 with a +43 offset. The 11R's are either 18x8.5 with a +47 or 18.9.5 with a +38.. Aside from being indecisive on which style I ultimately want, I'm curious if one wheel is a better choice over another? If I'm not mistaken, the offset on my car's stock wheel is +53. I tried searching the forums on here and NASIOC so maybe I could avoid a re-post, but could not find anything. Any info/opinions are appreciated! :sign0085:

18x9.5 +38 is not Subaru fitment. Either of the other options will be much more friendly in terms of handling and fit.

depending on the tire size, you may need to roll the rears with the 18x9.5 +38
