16x7.5 Superturismo 35ET

Hey All!

I am currently running Rota Tarmac 17x7.5 225/45/r17 Toyo T1-s
on my MY02 Wagon. They have never rubbed.

I found a super sweet deal on some white 16x7.5 35 ET Superturismos that where pulled off an Audi TT. The wheels will come with 225/50/16 BFGoodrich Gforce tires.

I put one of these wheels on my wagon and everything looked ok. But I know you can't tell too much by looks. So question is. Will these wheels work on my car? Will they damage anything? What is proper offset for 16" wheels and how much can you deviate?

Been searching but can't find a good answer and don't have much time before they are gone. BTW Wagon is white, Wheels are white and 300$ takes the set with tires.. Not a scratch on em.

Thnx

+35mm offset will put stress on your wheel bearings and alter your car's steerings characteristics dramatically. Nothing you will notice on low speeds, but at high speeds, the car will behave funny.

Nothing too dramatic. Can be used, but I do not recomment it. Too low. I ran +38 17x8 and hated it. Also, if you lower the car, you will rub like crazy.

Thanks!

Thnx there Imprezer!

I was thinking of using these at autocross, but would hate to mess up my wheel bearings. There will already be more stress than normal day to day driving

Damn they look good though, and a great price! Thnx again for info.
