Need to know for a 17x8 wheel, will a +47 offset fit on a 02 WRX?

TIA

Think I found something

copied from NASIOC, Proper Subaru WRX/LGT/STi/FXT offsets....

it was also said if the offsets where close to this list it would work fine.

EXAMPLE: 17x7.5 w/ a 51mm offset would be fine, a 17x7.5 with a 55mm offset would not.

Note: offset is only a variable of width not height, pics also gathered from misc. posts on NASIOC.


QUOTE
Width ...... Offset

6.5" ....... +53 to +55
7.0" ....... +50 to +53
7.5" ....... +47 to +50
8.0" ....... +43 to +47

More like double knock off. These are like knock offs of Rotas being knock offs of Volks.

Not sure you can call it a double knock off. Rota's are poser wheels anyways, not sure you can be a double poser. I'm sure this company wasn't like, "Hey I love Rota wheels, lets copy those!"

those are Rota DPT's.

Or Volk's, which is what Rota Copied. Those Drag wheels have been out just as long as the DPTs.

My point is that just because Rota is more well known doesn't mean they started the copying nice wheels trend.

I just want them to work. If I like them that's a bonus.

Ebay has a few nice sets of drag wheels i was just admiring, 17x9 with 56offsett which may work for me. But it has a polished lip. :(

Anyways, wheels are out of the question because i literally just ordered tires!

DAMN YOU MURPH!
