Photoshop request! Hyundai Genesis rims on my fc

Ok so here's the scoop. A friend of mine is buying new rims and tires for his 2012 genesis and he's gunna give his stock rims/tires for free. So..., just wondering how it would look. The tires are 225/45 18. The bolt pattern is the same as my s5 so I know they'll fit. Just wondering what it's gunna look like. Here's the 2 pics. I know it might look Pisa but oh we'll it's free. Lol

Whats the offset? Just because the lug pattern is the same doesn't mean it will fit.

Aw sick. Now I know they'll fit. Thanks guys. Hope fully the increased tire size won't put a strain on my mpg lol. Not that I get good mpg to begin with.

With the size going on it should be close to what came stock on it height wise. What you could do is take each wheel off separately and measure the height. It also depends on how heavy these wheels are compared to the ones you have on, since it will require more energy to move it. I thought the coupes came with staggered wheels, but guess not.

Ok so I got the rims but have yet to install them. Here is a pic of the rims next to the car. Getting them home was a pain. I have 2 12's in a ported box in the back so there is hardly any room lol.

Visually I think they're already too big, regardless of final ride height.
Also, too flashy for the bodystyle.

That's a picture of a Hyundai genesis coupe, not a Hyundai genesis. Be aware that they are two totally different cars.

Ugly is the word. I had wheels like that on my 88 vert when I bought it from a young guy in Ontario.
Swapped them for the beautiful factory BBS that came with the verts. Lightest wheels for the FC and classy

Why not buy some nice aftermarket 18s and swap the tires from the free wheels? I don't get using other manufacturers wheels for the RX-7. Stick with stock wheels of the period at least (Starion etc).
