Hey I'm curious which Subarus (if any) are about to functionally mount TE37's with the following specs:

Dimensions: 18x7.5
PCD: 5x100
Offset: 30+
Tires: 225/40/18

I'm mostly worried about the offset. Could they be run w/ spacers if they won't fit by themselves?

Thanks!

 

30 offset I do believe is not recommended. If I had the money, I would get the te37's though, those are some sweet looking rims.

 

30 is WAY too low. The minimum that you really want to run on our cars is going to be +48mm to both clear brakes and keep the suspention geometry/wheel bearings happy. Spacers effectively reduce offset, so they aren't going to help you in this situation. Hope that helps.

 

does that go for ALL years of Subaru? Thanks for the help btw =]

 

Yeah pretty much. GD's may be able to squeeze a little lower offset then GC's can. For example I believe there are some guys running around with +42ish wheels on their GD's. It has alot to do with the spoke design and clearance. With GC's you'll have less room to work with.

 

with +30 offset you'll be rolling on your te37's like a low rider (w/ the wheels sticking out)

 

looks will not compensate for the stress you could put on your suspension at 30+. Every revolution the wheel will make will put tons or pressure on your bearings. And it's not a fun task to replace busted bearings. If anything get something within the 43-48+ range and a set of wide sticky tires to compliment. You will fill out the wheel well much better.
