Sorry, I meant my Dealer who deals with all my aftermarket parts, not a Subaru dealership haha
Got the set for about $1800.

If you plan on going RB, just wait until you do to buy the wheels or buy them now and sit them aside for the time being. Either way, start researching wheel sizes and how offset works or else you'll end up with some ill fitting setup that won't look good. And don't take the dealer's word for fitment questions lol
Thanks for the advice! Thats exactly what my parts guy told me, I still don't understand the +7 part and why it won't fit, can't I just have the rim sticking out for the time being? Sorry if this sounded stupid, ya I'm a really new to all the "fitting and camber". Going to take ur advice and do some research.

If you're on stock height, you might be able to but under heavy suspension compression the tires will hit the body of the car which will mangle them and could also cause extensive body damage. If you're lowered already, I promise you that WILL happen. Basically the lower the number the further it sticks out. Why can't you just not run the wheels until you go widebody? lol. I promise you it'll look way worse than stock wheels so run those in the meantime.

The 15mm adaptor is required to change your PCD from 5x100 to 5x114.3

This reduces your offset by 15mm... 22-15 = +7 offset.

Plus, what xDJ DUBx said about mangling your tires and fender

Edit: but seriously, this discussion belongs in a different thread.

Enkei RS055RR Square set-up opinions?

I'm planning on getting RS05RR from work for about 420$ each.
18x9.5 +42 all around.

I was wondering why I can't run this stock, just curious. Sorry if its a dumb question.

And yes, I'll be lowering my car before I put this on. I'll be using FA500.

And I'm wondering what tires to get. Michelin Pilot Super Sport, Federal RS-R, or Dunlop Star Specs. I will be using the car as a DD, mostly commute and some occasional backroad runs.

Inboard clearance. I'd imagine you will hit struts or springs with that high of an offset. I think they're +43 btw

With stock springs, you'll rub on the spring perch. With Coilovers, I THINK you'll be okay. You might need a 3mm spacer but I'm not sure. People are running 18x9.5 +40 on Coilovers with no issues for reference.

LOL, i work at America's Tire in the SF area. They told me it would be like an 80-100 day wait for the wheels to ship from japan. I was thinking of just ordering and reselling wheels, but I'd get fire haha, I'm only 18 homeboy.

How do you guy's feel about a Square set up of 18x9.5 all around?

I was talking to the SpeedElement people, and they told me its just user preference.

I also decided not to go staggered because 8.5 was back ordered, and 8.5 had a flat face also.

But yeah, whats your opinion on a squared set up of 18x9.5 5x100 +42
