RE: Need Help Buying Wheels
Too high of an offset and the lug hole size may be 14mm instead of 12mm.

I will go see these wheels,guy that selling them asking 600 for them i think it's a great deal if i can make work on my car... any ideas , tires that i want to run is 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 Thanks
Do not make the buy, is my opinion (also). The offset
of the rims is too deep. To make this work will require
a handfull of spacers, longer lugs, larger diameter lug
bolts, maybe ball seat differential, etc not to mention
the potential for handling issues or suspension stress
related problems which may develop. Luke at TireRack
discourages the use of spacers. Get wheels which fit
your car, not to jury rig the wheels not designed for
your vehicle. By the time you factor in the additional
cost for these added parts, you may have arguably gotten
proper rims with 35-ish offsets in the first place.
