Do they stick out past the guards?
Whats the offset of the original rs turbo alloys?

stock offset is +55 so these only sit 7mm wider than the stock rims. They are still way inside the guards. Liberty wheels are set a long way under the car from factory..

All WRX/Imprezas & Liberty runs on +55 offset.
Outback & Foresters are +48 offset.
