Motegi DPK wheels

Does anyone have a set of Motegi DPK wheels on their 8? I am interested in them but I am curious as to the fitment and offset. I want my wheels to fit flush with the fender. Not past the fender or inside but FLUSH. Also, some of the websites that carry this wheel mention special pieces are needed for fitment.

SInce I was once looking at these myself, I was told you don't want these b/c their width is 7.5 and factory is 8.0. Just something to think about.

No, mine are 8" wide. The Motegi website shows that as well. I run on a 235/35/19 tire also. Wider than stock.

What offset do you guys have on those rims? I'm looking at 19"s right now and I don't know whether to go with 35mm or 40mm offset.

They work great, the car doesn't even hint at hydroplaning. They were a bit costly though, I think it was $1300 range for the set of 4 from tirerack. If I went with 225 instead of 235, I'd save $30-40 per tire.
