You want 5x100 lug pattern. Just gotta pick if you want 17 or 18 inch wheels

You want 17x7.5, 5x100, 48mm, 56.1mm or 17x8, 5x100, +48mm, 56.1mm.

17x8 is 1/2" wider. What size tire do you plan to put on? Do you ever plan to go much wider than stock?

The Rota G-Force Gun Metallic is available in 17x7.5 +48 and 17x8 +48 5x100 for the Subaru Impreza. As Tim has mentioned, the difference in the wheels is a 1/2" in width.
If you plan to run a 215/45/17 or 225/45/17 then you will be fine with the 17x7.5 wheel. If you ever plan to run a wider tire for aggressive street or track driving then I would recommend going with the 17x8 wheel. Also for lugs you want to get a lug that has a 12x1.25 thread pitch. Hope that helps and if you have any other questions be sure to post them! -Dan |

17x7.5 is already wider than stock. i run larger wheels (18x8, 225/40-18) on the street, smaller on the track (17x8, 245/40-17). if you really want 17's, i'd recommend 17x8.
