I just purchased a set of wheels which according to the print on the box are 45mm.
These were advertised as 18X8 ET37 and i was assured they would fit my 95.

I know that 38-45mm should fit, but I'm lowering my car 1" and want to run 245/40/18 Kumho mx or Falken or YOKO AVS sports.
Not final on that
Probably not So3's.

Will I have to roll the rr's and/or spacers?

Thanks

I'll post a pic or 2 in a few.

45 is perfect for the rear
38 is perfect for the front, if they are 45s all around you might need spacers in the front

Those look really nice.

The rears will fit fine with no rolling needed.

You *might* have a problem with the front wheels rubbing on your front struts.

My wheels have a 43mm offset and never had rubbing issues with my stock struts but I had to use a set of 5mm spacers to clear my coilovers.

good luck and post some pics once they are on, they look great.

Thanks Willy, been a while.
How you been?

Listen, the vendor I purchased these from spoke with Ro_Ja and was told they are a 37 offset.
Needless to say I am confused being that the box has 45mm printed on it.

And I can't find the ET stamped on the rim anywhere on either of the 4.
