18x9.5+23 on a scooby!?

[Sammy C]

Hi guys I'm looking at the size wheels above for the fozzy. I havent been able to come across another subaru on google that has this offset (I'm aware its aggressive!) Does anyone know anybody that has run this size wheel??? If so, is there any photo's about? problems?? 

 

The wheels I'm looking at are only available with an et23 offset otherwise i would choose something like an et38 and use spacers if required.

 

I would fit 225/40R18's which would help arch clearance somewhat but I'm aware the rims would be sticking out of the arch. I will also have the arches rolled if necessary. I think it would give the fozzy a good aggressive stance and would be different but I'm concerned whether its worth the risk! I'm on coilovers (AST) which will make life easier. Also, Is there any suspension strut clearance issues with 9.5J's? it seems to be the width of choice for scooby's!

 

Cheers for any help guys - sorry if this has been discussed before!!

I think you'll rub on the rear struts.

Check out www.subaru.org I'm sure someone on there is running wide wheels
