Static date adding and subtracting years

Hi Gurus!

I have a static date in a YYYYMMDD format; and I want get the date 2 years in the past and 2 years in the future.
Code:
static_date=20010203

old_date=$static_date - 3 years
future_date=$static_date + 2 years

I was only able to research on dates that are current and not on static dates wherein I can have it set and just changing it when I want.
Please help...
