Will these wheels fit my car? They are 18x10, with a 41mm offset and a 7 1/8" backspace. I did a search and read that with 18x10's I should get a 50mm offset and 7.5" backspace, but I really like these wheels and I'm hoping they will fit properly. Here's a link for them, they're American Racing wheels.

Oh, and for the front I would get the 18x9's wth a 25mm offset and 6" backspace, so I'm also wondering if these will work.

Thanks

18x10:

Depends how close you want the outer edge of the wheel/tire to be to the outside of the fender. The typical 17x11 50mm ZR1/GS wheel (see photo linked below) places the outer edge of the tire just under the outer top edge of the fender when you look straight down from above. A 41mm offset on a 10" wide wheel will sit inside the fender approx 1/10th inch further than that wheel. A 50mm offset will put the tire about 1/2" further into the fender than the ZR1/GS.

18x9:

Assume you are looking at these for the front. A 25mm offset will probably put the outer edge of the wheel/tire outside the front fender..... that is a 4.0" "frontspace", and that means it will stick out one inch more than the front wheel in the photo below (ZR1 17x9.5 56mm offset):

I don't think you want to go any less than 38mm offset on a 9" wide wheel. Compare to a TT II 17x9.5" 44mm offset. That has a 3.5" frontspace, as would a 9" wide wheel with 38mm offset.

 

Thanks for the help. I guess I'll have to look for different wheels, I don't want them stiking out past the body.
