I wonder what barnsey's tires are. they are likey a 225, 235, or more. (and since he said his diameter is the same is likely on 35 profile tires)
18x8's are much too wide! 7.5 width is cutting it.
I got 18x7 to be safe!!! (most people run 17x7 on their Ralliarts with a higher profile tire and have no probs) I spent hours and hours on forums and talking to different shops. The combo I got will fit with no rubbing.
Our wheels arrive Tues or Weds. Will post our results.

When i purchased the rims, we put in the computer my year and model, and i got the fitment size it said. Since the rims were on sale, they were a final sale...because i really didnt think a program designed for the sole purpose of sizing cars would be wrong.
What is the correct size?

I agree with SiRiUS, 7.5" width is a push and then probably only with an offset
of 45mm or real close and 225 width is probably the widest to safely use without modification. Your wheels are two inches wider than stock and even at stock width your offset still makes your wheels stick out 10mm more.
Return them or trade them for something that fits.
