Thanks Nuke. I'll shoot you a PM. I guess I actually want to change the offset a little bit so that my wheels stick out a bit further. I think that even with the wider tire outback, it will sit too deep in the fender well. Especially since with a staggered set, the front tire size remains exactly the same.

The wheels aren't in my taste but wheels are all about what you think =) as long as you like them, that's what's important!

Thanks. Yeah, I'm a bit skeptical about the style myself. They look good in that visualizer thing but who knows. I've always liked gold/bronze wheels on black cars. Reminds me of the old school trans ams.
