    Nice wheels which really soots your car - out of interest what offset and width are they and how much use of the grinder and file was needed :)

    Thanks. There a 9.5 38 offset the brake caliper got in the way so I shaved it down a few mm. God there tight litterly a couple of mm from. The strut and just miss the arch. But I was having those wheels I'd set my Hart on them. But 8.5 35/ 36 fit it's all depends on the spoke design if that miss the caliper. If that helps

    I fancied 18 x 8.5 Grids on my Forester but everyone seems to think they will rub the arch.

    The 8.5 don't have the concave or dish like mine. Hence I went 9,5 . I also got told mine would rub. I had a good play with the tape measure and hay presto.. But there will be some hints an tips on YouTube. Might show you the size you want or at least show you how to measure properly. That's what I did. Just didn't take the caliper into account

    They look great - will have to do a bit more research on the Subaru Forester Forum
