Work Euroline NS
Specs would be 18x7.5 with +32 offset.
What do you all think of these wheels on a 2009 wrx hatch? How would they fit? This is on a stock hatch, no suspension mods.

Well .... It's not my preference, but to each his own.
The width of those pretty much suck IMO. They would be okay for a 17 inch, but for an 18 inch wheel it should be a minimum of 8 inches wide to be even worth considering for me, especially on the 08+ as you have more room to work with under there. |

no..
to even begin to make them look good they would need to be much wider and the car would need to be much lower... |

Depends on the type of car. For Porsche's they come setup with a staggered wheel setup. For Subaru's you do NOT want to run a staggered setup as the car was not designed for that.
What you can do is run the same wheel size & width, but different offsets if you really wanted to, but if you are going to do that the lower offset should actually be placed on the front of our cars instead of the rear. It's best just to use the same size, wheel, width & offset all around the car (as well as same brand, type and size of tires all around. |

I'm looking for something polished, possibly chrome in 18" (or higher) that will look decent on stock suspension. |

DO not put these on a WRX...these belong only on VIP cars
the sizing is terrible, and furthermore, staggering your wheels blows out the subaru center diff pretty quickly. doing otherwise shows an utter lack of common sense, but more importantly...taste if your putting these on to look good, the first glare from your local subaru community should give you a precursor for what is to come. |

It's his car I would hate to have someone tell me don't put it on because it makes a community look bad. Go ahead dude if you really like it buy them. Don't listen to anyone who would tell you otherwise, you paid for your car. |
