Talking STI wheel offsets????

I'm looking at getting a set of Rota battle rims and they only have a +48 offset.

I'm just looking at getting these because I'm constantly screwing up my bbs rims on the road. I'm thinking I would rather mess up a set of $500 rims than the $3000 BBS.

Any info or opinions on the offset would be appreciated.

Hmmm...I am pretty sure the Battles won't fit over the Brembos on an STi. Try the Rota Torque, Slipstream, or Boost.

OK, I'm less concerned with what look I get. I'm more concerned about the offsets and if and how it will affect the handling. ? ? ? ?

Yep. Track width, scrub radius, and other stuff.

Ok, all I know is the words


FYI. I currently have Rota Torques with a 47mm offset.

Of course they do.

Your rims sitting in a different place + or - on the car.

I already got the answer I needed. Thanks for nothing. Kidding!
