Disregard my last... I was able to answer my own question. I have one more though. I have decided on 18x9.5 deep concave. Which offset do I go with and how do spacers affect that? Thanks.

 

Are you running 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rears?? I would look at +35 offset for fronts and +38 offset for rears.

 

The link must have changed because it was the WRX when I had it up to begin with!

 

I'm not going to stagger my tires, I will be going with 18x9.5 all the way around due to Works' size options.

 

Can someone help me with a rim offset question? The place I'm getting the rims from recommended a +20 offset with a 5 spacer for the rear. Is that right? I would like to be able to rotate tires and have same offset.

 

+20?

no, that's going to look dumb as hell unless your slammed and running negative camber.

The Spacer in the rear is the only way to rotate tires so that's right, but the shop doesn't know their offsets. Do they know it's a sedan and not a coupe?

 

I'm pretty sure I told them it was a sedan. It's lowered on Tein S-Techs. What offset should I be looking to get?

 

I'd say +35 or +40 then use the 5mm spacer in the rear to bring it to a +30/+35

If you were to go with +20 you'd need to run like -3 degrees of camber and you won't be able to have any meat on the tires.

 

get golden!!! a lot of knock of brands are making their wheels in bronze

 

FML. I do not understand how offset works apparently... I'm going to do a search on this stuff. I'm sure I'll have a few more questions.

 

This should help you understand offsets a little more

Wheel Offset Calculator

 

^ I found that and a few others, thanks. So, because the new rims are wider than the factory rims, I need to decrease my offset, right? Stock rims are +45 on a 7.0 and I'll have a 9.5, I can go down to a +35 offset and it should fit and just about be flush. Right?

 

Yes, +35 is pretty flush on our cars.

 

Could I get away with a +20 front and rear?

 

Pretty sure this was answered already

Wheels will stick out WAY too much. I wouldn't go much lower than 35mm. 20mm will put you at about 5/8" more than the 35mm would.

Too much for a sedan.
