Yeah, there 18x8 +45mm offset, and i'm defenitley looking into some springs or suspension parts to lower it a little, going to check with the garage that installed my wheels and tires to see what kind of drop I can get and not rub with the 235 spec tires

do you know right off the bat that theyll fit w/ tires? I tried the tenzo type M's at this dealership I work at. the wheel fit, but looks like minimal clearance w/ tires installed, & the center caps woud'nt fit. If yer keeping stock hight maybe, but the inner tire may rub the strut.

Darkdragon4862 quick qs, any vibration on hwy? My major vibration issues seemed to be resolved, I am stilling having light shake on the hwy. It drives absolutely crazy, knowing that OEM were completely solid.

Not sure of the weight didnt weigh them but did stack them in the garage and they seem to weigh a good bit with wheel and tire together around maybe 45-55lbs each, and yes on the highway there is a little viberation but probaby because of the new tires an what type they are there more for traction and speed than comfort so I can live with it

those should fit like a glove... all tenzo 18x8 +45 will fit well and run well with 235/40-18 with no rubbing issues... but it also depends on the brand of tires you choose... some come with lip protectors...
