will these wheels fit?

I am looking at a set of 18x8 wheels. The only problem is the offset is 38. Do you guys think that I will have rubbing issues. Also the car is lowered (tein s-techs and KYB AGX's) Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

That's much too low of an offset. You'd have to cut your fenders probably, or roll the hell out of them.

offset

That is what I thought. So what would you do. Like a 44mm offset? I dont want to have to roll the fenders.

+48-53mm is what's recommended for our cars. Anymore would require minor fender modification, ie rolled or cut.

+48 for 8" wheels. And you'd still have to be careful with tire choice. If you don't want to rub, get Subaru specific wheels.
