u sure?
Stock rims are 48mm offset and they are 6.5'' wide. These rims are 7.5'' wide, the offset gets smaller when the rims gets wider. Are you sure they wont fit? A few people on ebay are selling these type and claim that they fit wrx's, I just want to make sure...

Car Info: 02 WRX Wagon White
On a sedan I've heard of it working in 42mm offset, but consider this:
Compared to stock:
1. Rim is an inch wider - so, figure 1/2" wider on either side
2. Offset is 13mm biased outwards (so now we're at 1/2" + 13mm for outer clearance)
3. You'll likely use a 225 width tire, so add another 10mm. (now 1/2" + 13mm + 10mm)
The conclusion is that, if measuring from the sidewall of the stock WRX tire, the new rim/tire will come out about 1.2 - 1.5" from there. Do you have the room? Will you have the room under full suspension compression? It will be close.
