18x8: +38 offset Too low??

I found a good deal where i can get these beautiful rims for $650shipped...thing is, the offset might be WAAY off for the 2nd G TL but i'm thinking since they are so wide, maybe the it'll make up for it.

what do you guys think? i should prob look for something around +45

RPM 505: 18x8, et38





these things along w/ a ~2" tein basic drop on my (idk what color becuase its between white and SSM) WW_TL will look incredible!

7" rim = +42 offset
7.5" rim = +45 offset
8" rim = +48 offset

> 8.5" rim ... forget it unless you wanna do some custom bodywork for it to fit.




right from the top post on this page...

They would stick out, especially with the 8" width of the rim.
