Hey there!!! I know there is a list of rim sizes and such, but i wanted to make sure if these will fit 110% My service guy at Kia said they will fit! It will be tight, but no rubbing or anything. I wanted to get another approval kind of thing just to make sure because i will be purchasing these today!!! Let me know ASAP!!!!! Theres these ones:

XXR Wheels: 527 18x8.75 Matte Bronze Rims

and these ones:

XXR Wheels: 527 18x9.75 Matte Bronze Rims

Thanks!!

I LOVE those rims I wanted to get a set to, but I was in your situation I wasn't sure if they would fit, but if you find out they do I would deff. Get them dude!

I love them too! I just don't like all the holes for bolts. Sorry idk about them fitting though

I approve. Strongly approve.

I was looking at those wheels awhile back but the width is too much and they have low offsets which means you're gonna be sticking out the fenders way too much IMO. If you do it you better be on coils and running tons of camber like those other stanced out kids.

does anyone know of a set of rims in that style, and that wide but with an offset that will put you closer to flush?

Regardless, I'll hopefully be getting these in a month or so. Even if they stick out a bit, I thought I'd get those universal fender flares or roll them. We'll see.

I'm running MSR 045's 18x8 with a 35mm offset with 225 40 18 and they fit fine with no rubbing.

On those wheels your looking at it would only be a 10mm's wider between my wheels and those wheels on each side.
