quick offset help please!!

[subaru_terrence]

I found a very good deal on a set of 18" x 7.5" enkei evo 5 rims +45 offset with 225/40/18 tires.

I am wondering if + 45 offset will fit my BE without rubbing. I lowered my car with whiteline control springs.

Need an answer asap please!!!!

This works for your car:

Tire size calculator (http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html)


Those two should be able to let you know. From my calculations total diameter will be up by 0.2" and your revs per mile will be down by 7. Thats really close to a stock diameter and should fit, at least height wise. Width wise, you'll be a lot closer to the inside of the fender (see diagram), but it should fit...though you might need to roll them. The fitment of the width is an educated guess, but if a slightly less agressive 8.0" wheel will fit, those should be ok.

so I am assuming I should be good with these rims......

well...the guy was using them on wrx and they were fine so I think it should be ok

wrx's wheel wells are bigger than a legacy's... a +45 offset with a 7.5 wheel may rub on a legacy dropped with whitelines. my guess is you will need to roll your fenders to make those works.

Maybe not. He's driving a BE, which has much bigger wheelwells than a BD.

so should I buy them?

I really dont want to roll the fenders

I reckon you'd be fine... but it's hard to say because no-one really knows exactly what would fit under the well - if you didn't corner hard or take heavy loads in the trunk I'd say you'd be fine.
