i have a 42mm offset on my 18" racing hart c3 evo's and it RUBS like a mother. i got some hub centric h&r wheel spacers though (5mm) and ive NEVER been happier with the way my car looks and feels. my advice to everyone with fatty tires (18, 225's...or bigger) is to get some wheel spacers. my car just SITS now. heh, such a sexy stance.

30mm i THINK should be good. check the VFAQ for some wheel offset info on dsm's. i say throw em on, check it out...and if they rub, worry about it then. thats what i did. sucked because i had to throw my old rims on for awhile though

whats the offset on your old rims? the bolt pattern 5x114.3 is purrfect, bolt straight up there.

IMO, they'll fit perfect.

I believe the offset was 42, but on a 18 x 7.5 whereas these are 18 x 8.5. also the tires were 225 40 zr18

Dang, +30mm offset will make the tires stick out pretty far. You won't have any trouble as far as rubbing the control arms. However they might rub the fenders when you hit a sharp bump or something... depending on your suspension.

Bullox, thanks man I appreciate the compliment.

the suspension is tokico blues and springs, the old wheels/tires rubbed on bumps and hard cornering, I might can roll my fenders.
