Lightweight Wheels and Fitment

I'm planning on swapping out the stock GTS wheels in order to drop some weight and because I'm personally not a huge fan of the appearance. I finally came across Konig's Milligram Black and now the only thing stopping me from buying them is the uncertainty surrounding fitment. Normally I would use the fitment tool they provide, but alas its not working and redirects to the home page. Does anyone know what exact dimensions I should be looking at? Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Simply put: if the stock wheels are 18 x 7 would 18 x 8.5 wheels fit?


Also, realized I put this in the wrong forum, could a mod please move this to the Wheel/Tire forum!

It would, but also depends on the offset. You sure you want Konigs? There are also plenty of more wheel choices that are still affordable. Check out Varrstoen.

Forgot to add the offset, I figured it would be around 35mm for the offset but the 1010tires offset calculator is saying:

Inner clearance - 9mm less

Outer position - Extend an extra 29mm

Any idea what to do with those numbers, or alternatively would there be a more ideal offset?

That means the tire is 9mm closer to the inside of the wheel well. The INSIDE of the tire. The outter part of the tire is 29mm Closer to the OUTSIDE edge of the wheel well. Basically how close the tire is to where the body panel meets the start of the wheel well. Anything closer to +40 that you can get will make it look more similar to the stock fitment. Best you can hope for is to have the wheels/tires flush with the body before it starts looking bad.
