Fitment question from newbie

Hey everyone! First post here.


So Im pretty confused on tire size, and i did as much research on here and other sites and i just cant seem to find the answer. So on here i seen lots of people running 18x7 or 18x7.5 with different off sets (which i do not understand at all) So i'm loving these xxr matte/flat black XXR Wheel Rim 530 18X7.5 5x100/5x114.3 ET38 73.1CB. So i know i will need at least a 5mm spacer to make sure not to rub. However I just wanted to ask you guys to make sure before i buy these that it will work with the dimensions.


i drive a 2012 base model with factory suspension (factory hight)


Thanks for the Help

I can't help but notice that these wheels are 5-lug. You need 4-lug. Look great though.

Very true our cars are 4 lug, but this one is a multi fitment and has 8 so fits many cars.

Welcome to FF!

Based on the description you posted, it clearly states 5x100/5x114.3

The picture on the link however shows a 4-lug 16" wheel.

Also if you goto XXR's website XXR 530

You will see that they do NOT offer a 18" in a 4lug pattern. Largest you can get is a 17" wheel.

Offset basically determines how much the wheel will tuck (higher offset) or stick out (closer to 0 or negative offests). Believe our wheels are +42 from the factory.

I run a +35 and they fit decent. Probably better if I were on a 15x7.
