18x9.5

im looking at a set of 18x9.5 enkei wheels with a +38 offset. they have 245/40/18 tires on them. will they fit my completely stock 2006? im hoping they will because they are a really good deal but i have my doubts because the offset calculator said they will stick out A LOT further and give 7mm less clearance on the inside.

yeah i saw that, but didnt really get a clear answer as to if you would have to modify the fenders or if you needed camber.

I would lower the car before putting on this set of wheels. You can certainly make those work with some suspension work, but they will likely look ridiculous at stock ride height. I have 18x9.5 +45 RPF1's on 255/40/18's and they fit great. Running Bilstein shocks with Tein lowering springs. Also, if I had to do it all over again, I'd go with 17's and a meatier tire.

this is the most posted about topic on the entire forum and the answer is readily available, but since you started another unnecessary thread on such a worn out topic and I’m fairly certain you don’t have a valid reason for doing so; such as a handicap or disability, here’s your answer:

I tried to find something about it but couldn’t find anybody with the same offset or with the same size on stock height.
