I was looking into them but I think the offset is too low for our cars....sick rims though IMO

I don't know about fitment but even going from stock wheels to 18's I noticed a huge difference...much slower.

Not sure if that was from the extra weight or another factor.

I just looked at the offsets and you can get 18x7.5 in a +45 offset....you'd be golden bro!
