what offset are you guys running, and what is the lowest offset we should run on a wrx. if possible, can you guys post pics of your rims. im looking for pics of rims with a +44 offset or less on a 17x8 or 18x8. im just trying to get an idea of what my rims are going to look like on my car.

Good thread on offset

48 or higher seems like the right choice.

Stock = 53

+44 for an 8.5 is ok, but you will need to roll the fenders for sure.
