Default new wheels. Problem?

Help needed badly. So i just got a set of motegi wheels with falken azenis tires(all used). Now that i have put them on i have noticed when i drove it around a parking lot they made a lot more noise than my bridgestones and stockers. is this just the tires or am i doing somthing bad to the car? also the wheels are 16/7 and tires are 205 55 16 all the same as sotck wheels. Any ideas?

Whats the offset on them? I did some clicking around and saw that few motegi wheels have the right offset for subaru. Properly it should be a + 52 or so. Otherwise the wheels may rub on the fender. If thats the case and you want to keep them, find out where they are rubbing. If its the fender just have it rolled.
