18by8 35mm offset

Hi, i just came back home from checking out some sexy, sexy Volk Black Label wheels. The offset is 35 and the width is 8. I know this is a ridiculous question because there is a sticky explaining everything, nonetheless i dont understand how that works. The tire size is 225/45 i believe. Plz help me out guys!
I have a 2g tl and all i want to know is, are they going to fit properly?

Thanks!

change tires to 215/40/18

and they'll fit assuming they're 5x114.3 bolt pattern

Yea they are 5x114.3. So let me get this straight; if i throw them on like this, what exactly is going to happen? Are they just not going to fit period. Or do i need spacers? Lol, im clueless about all this stuff. From what i am understanding is that the rubber will rub against the inner wheel well. Plz correct me if im wrong.

most likely just roll the rear fenders and run 225/40/18 or if you want to be "safe" and not have to worry about rubbing after rolling... 215/40/18.

To me they look like Work Eurolines, i checked and indeed it's Volk. Have never seen them before.

Yes, Thorhhill to be exact.
2 of them are curbed. 2 are fine. the tires are so done, i cant even begin to tell you. But i am still considering of buying them and ridin them until i save up for rubber. Lol they were used on a drift car for sure, i could tell right away by the edges of the tires. All in all the shop wants $700. Ill be talking to them again tomorrow.

Those wheels are disgusting...Don't bother dude. Hold off and save some money (1500-1600 bucks) for a nice set of NEW wheels with good tires. The design of the ones you posted is terrible, they're curbed and scratched and the tires are bald...all for $700? Yeah right.

^Subjective lol. But no i c ur point in the bald tire part. The design of the wheels is what i actually like. Not because the wheels are made by some high quality Japanese manufacturer, and honestly i don't care about weight. The design struck me, ive always liked the euroline wheels by work. These resemble some of them in way.

Right now I am rolling on 1 season old winter tires (bought in December), and i want to switch out of them a.s.a.p. They are loud, and my OEM 16's are annoying to look at.

True, do what you want since it is your car, but in my opinion the rims won't flow well with our car, but to each his own.
