8" rims on Hawk WRX
Does anybody know if 17x8" wheels will fit on my Hawk WRX assuming correct pcd. Also the car is in Eibach springs so sits about an inch lower.

Obviously they're on the sti but that's a widetrack and I wasn't sure if that was a necessity.

Lots of people on here run 18x9.5 with a lower offset than a standard wheel so you should have no problems at all

With a WRX if you have the standard calipers you can run up to ET48. On an STI or with the brembo calipers fitted you can only run ET45.

Not true. The shape of the spoke is the important factor, not the offset

Both actually. Of course the shape of the spoke matters for clearance of calipers. Goes without saying. Was only trying to demonstrate the differences between STI and WRX offset in reference to the ET45 already mentioned.
