Factory offset and width?
Just picked up the FRS yesterday. Looking to swap the wheels but I want to bring wheels out to the fender flush or near flush and run a 9" or staggered 9 and 10". Anyone know the stock width and offset?
Since the FRS just came out there probably wont be any information on flushness, but you can easily calculate this yourself:

17x7 +48 all around is stock. Just from a quick look, it's going to be tough to go much wider on front wheels with stock suspension. There's only about 1 inch between the current tire and the coil spring, and another .5" between fender and tire. Just from eye-balling it, I'm thinking there's an extra inch available in the front with stock suspension and stock fenders. On the rear, there's plenty of room. 2.5-3" between tire and spring, and another inch between tire and fender. Fender rolling won't get you much on this car, maybe an extra 1/8". This is all based on eye-balling and using my finers to estimate distances, so before dropping $3k on wheels I'd recommend double checking everything. The main thing to keep in mind is that you're not gonna get a 9" wheel on the front with stock suspension.
With coilovers, everything changes. The spring on the stock suspension has a pretty big OD. A smaller OD spring would help a lot.
Oh, and just about everything under the car is stamped "SUBARU"
