08 STi wheels on SVX - any issues?

I'm contemplating getting a set of 5-spoke silver 08 STi wheels for my SVX. Do any of you know if there could be any issues? Bolt pattern seems to be the same, but offset is what worries me a bit. Thanks.

Might check the information on the "treadepot" web site by pulling up wheels for your car and the 08 STi, getting the information about the offset, etc. Looks good to me but don't know that much about the #'s

Thanks, that's a nice website for reference.

I've been looking into the '08 5-spokes as well.

I'm pretty sure they will fit, but the fact that they are an 18x8.5 has me alittle concerned.

I'll try and find out the offset for them.

Re: 08 STi wheels on SVX - any issues?

I've run 8.5" wide wheels on and off my car for over a year now with no issues (48 offset Rota Slipstream). Tire width may be an issue but I've run 235/45-17 on these wheels and 245/40-17 tires on my 8" wide '05 STi wheels without incident.
