18X8 35mm offset 114.3 bolt pattern is this correct?

These are for a nordic green. Can't find a way to see what they would look like but they look good to me. Can anyone do a photoshop on these?

The bolt pattern is correct. The standard rims offset is 50 mm, but you should be OK with the 35 mm. I had a 7 mm spacer on mine, and they were still fine.

I have 8x18 wheels with an +40 offset. Unlike with most other cars, this 1cm of difference is greatly felt in steering response, probably due to change the roll-radius. The 8x18, off +35 wheels will be a bitch to drive with the standard Bridgestones in the rain - every puddle will pull the steering to the side, i guess.

Never had any handling differences when I had the spacers on there (would be equal to a 43 mm offset). But then again I live in LA. Barring this past month it is hardly ever wet here.

my new wheels are 18x8.5 +38mm, they go on next week, we'll see how it changes the handling

Anyone willing to do a photoshop with these wheels?

Come on photoshop experts. Really want to see these rims on a Nordic Green. I am willing to drop 5 or 10 bucks in your paypal acct. before I go order these and they don't look right.

If someone takes me up on the offer please photoshop these also

Like those first ones better. Those are nice looking rims...

Found the Evos 18X8 114.3 bolt pattern 38MM offset for $590. Really need a look with them on the car. I have 3 days before the bid closes.
I liked the first ones also but the 50MM offset probably isn't good.

TexasKyle

not sure if you saw it or not, but the link for the EVO's...it says (5x112 ONLY). Not sure if that is the only pattern they make for those rims....or thats the only pattern currently available on the website.

No, I found them at another site, 18x8 114.3 pattern 38mm offset. Thanks though. I am hoping the 38 offset isn't that big a deal.

hehe here you go..now you can get a pretty good guestamation about wheel offsets...and what not.

Thanks RX. According to me calculations using this i put the current whell at 8 wide with a 50mm offset. The new wheel would be 8 wide with a 38 offset. Says clearance from stut housing to inside of wheel is more then 12 mms and the outside edge of the wheel will extend an extra 12 mms. Good, ok or bad?
