Those wheels should work as long as there not too wide . I run 18 X 7 wheels with 42mm offset and I have no rubing.

Sounds like those wheels will rub on the rear fender.
Mine are 7mm closer then stock and there only about 5mm from the fender.

Ok I found rims I want but I have a new question.
These are 18 x 7.5 with 40 mm offset. sound ok? and the guy said They come with 12mm x 1.5" lugs. I would have to buy the 12mmx 1.25 lugs locally he said. Will that work ok? are hey alot of $$$$? thanks guys!!! |
