first time buying wheels! What do you think?
 
So i have searched for offset info ect but before i press the buy button on $1000 package i wanted to ask one more time, will 38+ 5x112 by 18's fit with 225/40/18 tires, here is a link to the wheels (Azul speedmesh) http://www.wheelfire.com/scontent/Wh...%2FSport%20Pkg.

- Also if anyone knows of similar wheels in about the same price range any recommendations would be appreciated!

Don't press that button! The wheels have the wrong offset: stock is 56. Those wheels would stick out past the front fenders.

Check out this thread over at the Fourtitude forum; it's all about wheels:

Nooo! Well does anyone know of similar wheels in that range?? Is there anything i can do about this, so only if the offset is too high i could use spacers? Thanks

okay i called and they said the offset is actually 40, still not good?

You can see that you have more leeway for the rear fitment, but less for the fronts.
