Offset is only useful with the rim width, I.E. A 9" rim at ET 44 would need archwork...
A pal has 18" QZ ultraleggy's on his WRX but he had to add spacers to clear his "new" Brembos.

P.S. 8 x 17 would be a good track option... IMHO.
P.P.S. £600 and they are yours. Show use only, almost perfect.... given they are over three years old now.

Sounds O.K. will clear the arches on suitable tyres...
IMHO.
dunx
P.S. Mine have 235's and with the extra 4mm on the ET I had to "mod" my rear arches.

No I cannot confirm anything, but ask LeeP for his spec. I'm fairly sure he has 18" Ultras and Brembos with spacers
dunx
P.S. You can have mine for £500... 2.1 engine build to pay for
P.P.S. Did you see the Prodrive headlights go for >£400 on ebay recently ?

The lower profile tyres are stiffer, so the ride is slightly more harsh, and mid-corner bumps can tend to unsettle the car more, but it's not a big deal with 235 R888's on, as the grip levels are simply astonishing.
I took a WRX owner out, and where he expected me to brake I shifted up a gear and accelerated through a roundabout... Whilst he screamed like a girl and hung off the grab handle.

P.S. GPS vs speedo has an error of 1 mph at the legal speed limit, so gearing is very close to std STI fitment.

Can you still buy them new ? I don't think you can but would like to be corrected as I always liked these wheels, and IMHO are one of the best looking wheels on an Impreza !!!!

Ultraleggy's are at a vast expense.
I took a spare set round to LeeP's today and he says there is a bidding war on his !
I showed him how my 19's look and he took them and his "new" six speed for a spin.
Good luck to whoever buys them.
