unfortunately i cant answer this. what im trying to do is to provide a offset and width guide by what people are running. as of yet no one has provided me any 18" fitments. please continue to check back on the 1st page for updates.

17x7 with a 40 offset should work just fine. it'll be 5mm more outward which is practically nothing. Enjoy

Ok, I received and mounted my new wheels yesterday and they look great! I'm now riding on 18x7.5 wheels with a 40 offset and 225/40 tires. I'm not lowered and I don't think it would be wise because I have heard a little rubbing when hitting hard bumps, but nothing that concerns me. The look is so awesome, the wheels are much closer to being flush with the fenders (another 3 or 5 mm and they would be exactly flush, but I'd probably experience severe rubbing). I'll have to take and post a few pics when I wash my car this week.

. Someone please post 18" and offset for a sedan if you have them, thanks.

Running 18X8" 48mm offset O.Z. Racing Ultraleggera wheels and 225/40-18 General Exclaim UHP on my '06 LX sedan.

Not lowered, but should easily clear with no issues with a 1-1/2" to 2" drop.

A little off topic but damn those wheels look great on your sedan!

Site for wheel weights:

http://www.wheelweights.net/

Another good site to find wheel weights would of course be the Tire Rack. Most of the wheels they sell have the weights listed along with their specs although they may not carry the brand you're looking for.

Depends on the offset. for a stock 45mm offset itll work just fine. What offset where you planning on running?

If not is there anything to be done to make them fit?

its 10mm more outward. do you plan on staying stock suspension? If so it may work. I would have serious concerns of it rubbing on the outer fender. No one has posted this set up yet. if you run it let me know.
