Suspension, stance and clearance

This Subaru Forester is on stock suspension, so the ride height is factory and the fitment you see here works without lowering the car.

Stance: flush. The wheel face lines up with the fender. Flush fitment on a Subaru Forester comes down to the offset and width above; copy them and you get the same result.
