Wheels for Subaru WRX 2002

superspd8 · 11-23-2001, 09:32 PM

I am looking for 17X7 or 17X7 1/2 wheels. What offset range is acceptable? What tire sizes are recommended?[p]Is the Enkei RP02 (48 MM offset) a good wheel in 17x7.5 size?

Yes a 48mm is exceptable. We use the OZ Superleggera on our car in a 17x7 with a 48mm offset, 45 is about as low as you should go.

be careful if you are looking at discounttire.com they have (had) a lot of wheels that had the wrong offset listed!!

Also take into account the weight of the rim. A big increase in unsprung weight can have very undesirable effects.
