NVRENUF at standard level
Default Mag Width on bug eye

hi guys looking at getting some 19inch mags for the car just wondering
what is the widest rim i can get. i have seen some mags i like which are
19x8.5

is that ok on the newer wrxs ..i know on my classic shape i could only get 7.5 i think it was at the most.. with 215

and im assuming i could put 225 tyres with the 19x8.5 as well

any help would be great thanks

Tim

They will fit, but might need a bit of guard work and correct offset.

i think you will definitely be pushing your luck with an 8.5 and probably some scrubbing involved as well.

19x8.5 with 235/35 lowered only need guar rolling on 02 wrx but it has to be correct offset

18x8.5 would fit with no scrubing on gda/gdb on superlow spring
