Will these fit my 8?

I was looking for a good set of lightweight wheels. I found these but will they fit?

Thanks

This and a device of linear measure may help you answer your own question.

I don't know for certain, but just shooting from the hip, I'd say not.

offset is not good. stock offset is 50. 25 will stick out like the wheels on a monster truck.

if you want some lightweight wheels that'll fit, i've got some 18X7.5 enkei rp02's with a 45 offset i'll sell you. each weighs 18.1 lbs. they're new in the box. i'll knock 25 dollars off edge racing's current price. you pay to ship.

Myriad, nothing like skinnier than stock rims especially with an offset that will actually set them in more than the stocks already are. You trying to bust his ***** or just trying to dump a bad purchase?

FWIW Surf, some guys are running 18x9.5 +45 Enkei wheels which stick out just as much as these BBS would (using the calculator above)

well, +45 on a 7.5 will come in 1 freaking mm, so that isn't really a big deal. and a quarter cm on each side isn't really an issue either. but yeah, i was drunk and meaning to buy the rp03 18X8.5. so i'm trying to get rid of them. Heh.

YO. i'm running on 9.5 wide with a 25 offset and 275 tires all around..and my car is pretty drop.
I rub in front when i'm making a u-turn but does not stick out but the back sticks out just a little bit
and hits the fender cuz car is to low but i'm correcting it with a fender flare or a stiffer shocks.

stiffer shocks will not help you if you are already pretty dropped and with a 9.5 +25 offset.

i can't imagine that looking or sounding very good. i can't believe someone would put those on your car with a clear conscious. have any pics?
