Exclamation tarmac 3's

I am trading my 04 BBS wheels for a guy with Tarmac 3's however he has his on a forester the lug pattern is the same but will they clear the brembos? He has a 1.5-2inch gap on his right now so i think they would.

So 18" Tarmac 3s do not come in different different faces/dished? Or offsets?

You know, I didnt even think about that when I posted. Thanks Boony! Here is the info from the Rota Site.

18 x 7.5 +45 4h x 100
18 x 7.5 +48 4h x 114.3
18 x 7.5 +45/+48 5h x 114.3
18 x 8.0 +35/+48 5h x 100
18 x 8.0 +35/+48 5h x 112
18 x 8.0 +35/+45/+48 5h x 114.3

To the OP, on your 04, you will want a 5hx100 rim. I believe I am running the 18x8 +48 and I have no fitment issues on my 06.

If yours are a different offset, I would shoot subydude.com a PM or check out his website and ask a question there.
