Hi guys, I have an 01 bug wagon with the saloon front arches and the rears are rolled. I currently have a set of 18x8j et45 wheels on, now I want to add 20mm spacers to give the car a more aggressive stance and add some camber bolts front and rear. Can anyone tell me if this set up would work. I would essentially be changing my offset from et45 to et25 .

Any help would be appreciated.

No one at all? No experience of offsets on subaru's?

Hi Dan

Yes this should works on yours

ET45 with 20mm spacers should give you ET25 offset

If you will be going with 20mm spacers,have look on the Hubcentric spacers,those I would use

But still I would go rather with wider wheels than making high offset wheel low offset

Hope this help

H Jura,

Thanks, I too would rather use wider wheels but I quite simply can't afford the ones I want, what I have now is as close as I'm going to get for the moment.

Just to add, with this set up I'll have to have a reasonable amount of camber to clear the arches, with this in mind do you think that I'll be chewing through tyres on the inside fairly quickly?

Hi again, I have bee offered some 25mm CDF spacers, which would now mean the offset would be et20 on my 8j wheel, I know Jura said that et25 would be ok but is et20 too much?

I'd be more worried about the wheel bearings and rubbish changes made to the steering geometry ....

What camber you are now running?

Hi Dan

We running ET20 on our wagon and they fill nicely arches(although on our wagon they stick out)

You should be OK,but you with those ET and spacers you can have premature wear on the wheel bearings and can cause lots of issues,although on our we are never have any issue to the date
