does anyone know if 2005 subaru wheels will fit a 2003 GT? The wheels are 5x100mm which I think is the right size, but the offset says they are 55mm. Will they work?

as long as they are 5x100mm they should fit. Can you test fit them first? I know I had my wheels from my LGT and they fit on the 04 Vibe. But not sure on offset.

The bolt pattern is correct, but stock offset is about 38mm, give or take a couple of mm. But what size are the wheels 16" 17" 18"?And how wide? 6, 7, 8"2003-08 Vibe factory alloys top out at 17x7Has the car been lowered?They might be OK at stock ride height. Can you put a pair on the front to see? Rear should not be a problem, even lowered. Sheldon Cherry (Scherry2) had spacers on the rear wheels of SpiderVibe (may it rest in peace!) to bring them out closer to the fenders.

55 mm offset is 10 MM farther inward than the OEM option 17 inch Vibe alloy and 16 mm farther in than the OEM 16 inch alloy and steel wheel. Not a huge distance, but might be a problem for brake clearance.I would test fit one, before spending $$.On a whole different note, that Subie wheel and tire will be farther inside your wheel well, and might give the Vibe a kind of '50s car stance. My 17 inch aftermarket wheels have a 38 mm offset and my son's 17s have a 35 mm offset. His wheel tire combination turned out flush with the outside edge of the wheel well lip... and look pretty good.
