What wheels will fit my 03 SE? WRX?
Obviously the WRX/STI has a much better aftermarket than our Legacy's so I'm wondering if WRX/Impreza wheels will fit an 03 SE sedan? There are tons of takes-offs and aftermarket sets cheap all over the place, it would be nice if they'd fit.
Also what is the offset of the legacy rims?
Thanks

Quick answers, yes, they'll fit, and the Legacy offset on the SE rims is 55.
Keep in mind that offset is relative to rim width, but you don't want to drop below a 45 on your car, and no wider than a 225. Note that Sti takeoffs may be too wide to fit correctly, as the 070's are really, really wide tires.

It *is* relative to the center point of the wheel.
The *optimum offset* for a Subaru, however, is relative to the width of the wheel. A wider wheel needs a lower offset in order to keep from rubbing the strut. A 15x5 wheel could be ET60 and not rub, but a 18x9 wheel wouldn't clear with ET55.
Make sense?
