17x7 will fit. 18x8 will likely rub in the back. You would probably have to dial in some extra camber and or roll the fenders to guarantee they will not rub.

Mathematically the 18x8's will stick out 0.9" (23mm) more than stock.

Your Momos look great, why change them. Save a bunch of money and just replace your broken turn signal light instead.

I agree, those look damn good. Unless that's not his car?

It is my car and one of them is cracked and I know at least one is bent (what I get for letting my girl friend drive the car lol


And why would those rub? The goal is to replace the rims only and keep the same tires
So it would be the same distance around but I don't know what off set the momos are

Look in the big stickied thread on rims man. http://www.subaru-svx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=29638

Each specific set of rims doesn't matter, just the size. No reason to have a whole new thread for each really.
