Default wedsport XD9 wheels on s197?

found a set of these wheels locally, have the correct bolt pattern, 35mm front and 38mm rear offset. thought about them for track wheels, tires need to be sized correctly. heres a pic of them.

How wide are they respectively with the offset you posted? Depending on the price, I would go for it.

Default width

theyre 18x8 and 18x9. hes asking a fair price considering they are close to 400 per wheel. i thought about powder coating them black to match my grabber orange with mach 1 theme(or whats left of it).

I wouldn't be gung-ho on the front 18x8's... that's smaller than the stock 18x8.5 wheels and since we have so much weight over the front wheels, it's really a good idea to get wider front wheels if at all possible and run a 275 or 285 tire to reduce understeer. On an 18x8 you'll probably be looking at a 245 tire.

I don't think they look to bad. Definitley put the widest tires you can squeeze in on the front.

I'd consider it. 18x9'' or 9.5'' would be ideal but those are even lighter. You can mount a 275/40 on the rear so it's all good.
