i have a set of toyota camry 5x100 14" steel wheels and a set of 14" blizzak snow tires that i was planning to run this winter. however, upon measuring the backspacing, OEM subaru is ~130mm (5 1/8"), and the camry's are ~115mm (4.5").

so, i'm going to guess that makes the camry's offset ~40mm. is this "ok" for my snow treads? they're 195/60-14 blizzaks and i believe the wheels are 14x6"

Test fit them. If they fit, great. If not, then go to a junk yard and canibalize 4 steel wheels from a Subaru. Sounds like a really low offset to me, but whatever.

they fit. i've already tested. i'm just wondering if i will have problems with wheel bearings and ball joints.

yeah you will if you leave those wheels on. I'd say get them mounted on your current wheels
