tenzo r overdose wheels

i was thinking about getting a set of these,
but i'm not sure which one will fit closest to the stock wheels.
i want to keep the 18", but i'm not sure on the fittings
the specs are 18x7.5, 5x100 bolt pattern, with 42mm offset or
18x7.5, 5x114.3 bolt pattern, with 42mm offset.
are these roughly the same size as the stock wheels?
would the potenza RE040's i have on my stock wheels right now
fit well onto these?

your oems are 18x8 so with those you would be going smaller diminishing your handling

i'm pretty sure vividracing used to sell them in a 18x8 size, but they took the overdose line off their site a few days ago, i'm still looking around though.

would i need the 5x100 or 5x114.3 bolt pattern?

You need 5x114.3. Don't go with 7.5 wide though, find a wheel that is the 18x8.5 with an offset between +40 and +35.

yeah... I dont really have a whole lot of experience with them but have heard bad stories. I emailed them asking for a quote and a few other questions and it took over a week to respond... I contacted lazi with the same requests and got a response in less than a few hours. Wasn't exactly impressed with that (and the pricing wasn't as good as my other quote...).

I would go no lower than 18x8 or you'll be sacrificing performance (unless looks are all you're going for.
