Default wheels wheels wheels

I am burnt out on trying to find wheels. Does anybody know what the offset is on these wheels.

According to the link he posted, they're +22mm offset (which is perfect for an 04, and stick out on an 05).

Yeah but in the picture they look good. What do you think.

It looks like the front is sticking out - they also don't looke wide enough to be 18x10's.

I think they are nice looking wheels, but I believe a +22mm offset 18x10 is going to stick out if you put a properly sized tire (like a 285) on it. I have +43mm offset rears with 18x9.5 wheels and 285/40/18 and they're pretty close (see sig). A +22mm offset 18x10 will stick out more than an inch farther than mine.

I would be carefull about how big you go up front. I had a 02 camaro Z28 with 17x9 with 285/45/17 and they would track so bad because they where so wide=(

I agree. From what I've seen, I would not go wider than 275 on the front of this car.

You need more offset for rims on this car, like 35 or so. The wrong offset rims will look terrible.

For reference, here is what 18x9 +26mm offset wheels with 255/45/18 tires looked like on my car.
