Will these fit?

18x9 et23. They're wide but REAL pretty.

This is a 6sp with a Mazdaspeed suspension.

18x9 with +23 offset, is that what you're referring to (et23)? If so, then you're going to have rubbing problems in the front. The rear is ok.

Yeah the offset is a +23. Damn.

How much rubbing do you think? Will it be fender roll-able?

With 18x9 +23 in the front, I'm not sure if there would be enough clearance even after you roll the fenders. After you roll the fenders, you'll probably get about 8mm - 10mm additional clearance. You might have to check with a wheel shop.

If you haven't bought the rims, I say look around for a different offset. If you want to go with 18x9, I wouldn't go with more than +42

Thanks man. These are a set of Volks that I came across. They're brand new and really cheap (for Volks).

I want an agressive offset without a staggered set up on the car, but this seemed way agressive. I've been looking through the HyperRev and there's no one running that much of an offset up front. The biggest I've seen is an 18x8.5 with a 28 up front.

Damn. I'll let these go then. They were supposed to go on an R33 Skyline that got some other shoes. these are sitting in a shop local to us.

Very nice, but without specs about offset and width, they're not that helpful. :D
