fair enough
then the best thing to do is get a feel for sizes off the net
the californians on nasoic have 800 odd pages of tough offset subarus
google "church sooper aggressive wheel thread"
edit here it is: http://forums.nasioc.org/forums/show....php?t=1560585


alot of the setups are a little too riduculous (even for me) some use spacers (shakes head) but some are just perfect

otherwise wrongfitmentcrew, hellaflush, stanceworks etc may give you an idea, or use this friendly offset calculator and a bit of imagination

You could always try putting up a wanted ad, someone may lend you some to try on. Also, make sure you take the profile and width of the tyre into account. Do you have stock struts/springs? You can probably go a wider rim with coilovers.

It's lowered on sti pink springs (99% sure), can't afford coilovers as of yet. Will put up a wanted ad to try a rim from somebody here.. Really looking to get my offsets perfect, I had a set of OZ superleggera on my old car (Peugeot) and the offset was really nice but just a touch off, and it should have been much lower than it was, did no research on what needed for that car so hoping to do it a bit better this time around.

Looking a the thread now, cheers mate

Cai's look hot damo. Not too keen on the blue nuts against the gold and burgundy though.
