Sweet. I have Ground-Controls on mine so I could play around with the height...do you know if the RS fenerwells are the same size as the WRX ones? It seems to me that they are but I dont know for sure.

Hi
They do have a website, but I do not know what it is. I found this place by calling 5Zigen USA. They sent me there. They do not have that many left. I know they have a black set in 48 offset. The 45 offset would work aswell. I would recommend getting a 7.5 width. Just call them and they will set you up. I looked all
over for these rims they are getting harder and harder to get ,since 5ZIGEN bought them. I think they are one of the best looking rims out. In person they are stunning!

no, No, NO....
You will have rubbing issues.
Don't get any rim wider than 7.5"
Stick with an offset as close to stock as possible. I would try to get an 48-53 offset. The lower the offset #, the closer the outside edge of your wheel will be to the fender= rubbing issues. Check with the guys at LIC motorsports. Both of their GC8's have 17X7.5 w/ 48 offset, 215/45/17 tires. They both are very lowered, and they both have had to severly roll their fenders. 225's are pushing it with a 8" wide wheel at even a 48 offset, and the 40 series tire might not make the difference.
This obviously all depends on how dropped your car is, how much you plan on lowering it, and how much you want to beat on your fenders.

There is a difference.

Damn, so both Adam and Andrew have had to roll their fenders? Shiet, that sucks, Im not looking forward to doing that....oh well. Ill have to ask them about it.
I have resolved to the 17x7.5 anyway, so the x8 is out, oh well.
