aah, good to know I have noticed that i have never seen wheel spacers on a rally car (though i haven't been looking for them)

Oh i got you. I can't be certain that the offset changed but it appears to have gone from a 40 ish on the 5" wide rim to a 50 on the 6" wide rim. The rim got a full inch wider, but about 3/4 of that is sitting more inward now.

My new rally tires are a 185/65/15 on Stock 92-94 Turbo legacy rims 15X6 (50 offset?)

My old rally tiers were 165/65/13 on stock 93 impreza steel rims 13X5 (40 offset ? ) I can't seem to find the offset listed in the factory service manual.

Guess i'll try and check around the service area what other teams are running (i think the team dynamics put the size and offset on the face of the rim)

good to know. I'll just use the stock Legacy turbo rims with out any spacers and check up what others are doing.. just seemed odd to me that the RS lost a bunch of inner wheel well clearance compared to the 93 .
