Is a set of Rota Subzeros with 17x7.5, 45mm offset going to fit ok on an 04 WRX sedan? I'm more worried about the offset causing any long term suspension or bearing damage.

A long time back I posted a website to check wheel fitment vs offset, but the truth is the only way you can be sure is to test fit.One of the biggest and least known variables is spoke thickness and curvature. Two wheels with the the same dimensions may or may not fit according to these variables. BUT, any WRX prior to model year '06 is quite forgiving, so all the above mentioned sizes "probably" will fit.

Any thing thats close to the stock offset( +53 i think) who be fine... If you go crazy like +19 or something not so close to the stock offset, then Im sure you'll run into some problems..
