    Will these 18's fit?

    Here is the picture:

    Here is the info:
    18" silver Riax Zuka wheels with 245/40/18 Essenza tires. Dual 5 lug, 5x114.3 and 5x100 with 45mm offset. Wheels and tires are both in great shape and are only about 6 months old

    will i be all clear on those? Or must i be concerned about anything?

    edit: oh yeah it's also 18x7.5 and im running gr2's with tein's

    the tires are a lil big. so you have a greater chance of having problems such as rubbing

    Webhosting for less than $3 a month? put "pinoyesv6" as a promo code.

    Most 8gs I've seen with 17" wheels are running 45 series tire so I don't see why you would rub.

    none of them are running 245 w/o rolling fenders, cutting them out, or correcting camber.
