What is the craziest offset ever seen on a WRX/STi, please post pics if you have em

I am in the market for some wheels, I would like to see deep dish/ crazy offset wheels on cars in title if possible. Not that I will do this, but it will give me an idea of how wide I could go.
Oh yeah Hi, my name is Justin and I am a new Subaru owner, I am pretty knowledgable in the Honda game, now I want to try a new one. I have been swaping engines in honda's for about 6 years now, so I decided to pick up my current ride about 2 1/2 weeks ago. 06 Stell Grey WRX, big plans for the vehicle just need to part out all my stuff to start the new build.
I look forward to knowledge pertaining to the new 2.5 liter boxers in WRX and hope to start moding very soon.

thanks for helping
Justin

You cannot really go lower than +45 without getting into some issues. Some people run lower, but the car handling will suffer and you will rub. On Subaru's getting a lip over 1.5" is hard, as high offset does not allow that. Some rims have bigger lips than others, but in general, you should not care abotu the "lip" on a Subaru. Just get some nice JDM gold rims and you will be happy.

Compomotive all the way. They're custom built, so you can do what ever you want. Plus they're super bomber rims.

You can run - and it will still look cool. I'm running about -42. The wheel is set way out but the hub is still in the same position. So it creates this deep dish effect. You don't want to go too far in or it will look silly. Subarus should have an agressive look.

What size wheel are you running with that offset, I want something that looks a little less bbs, although those look like bbr competition wheels(yes I do mean bbr and not bbs).
I was looking at Websports SA-90, how do those look on the WRX, I have not been able to find a good pic, and I know those do not have a lip, but they might look cool on my Steel Grey 06.
By the way how do you go about ordering those wheels since they are in pounds? How much is 160L?
