Wheel Fitment Question? please?

Aright guys, i tried doing some seraching on this topic but couldn't find the right answers... i found a deal on some wheels but don't know if they will be able to fit my car. The specs of the the two wheels are 18x10.5 with a +55 offset. I am looking to add them on to my rear on my S5 Vert. Will this fit?

In know the positive offset is huge, maybe adding a 10mm spacer will help? and if i do decide to go that wide will there be some fender rolling? hit me up guys, thanks in advance!

Zack

Well they definitely won't fit with stock rolled fenders, there going to atleast need a pull. And your going to want to be in the +20 offset or less, which will require a huge *** spacer that won't be practical.

So I'd have say no they won't fit. If you want to put 10.5" wide rims on the back, try to find something with a lower offset and be ready to pull the fenders.

i'm not an expert but I don't think they will even come close... I have a set of 17x9 +38 and they come pretty close to the suspension. Your gonna need a big spacer to clear.

i got it! I'm guessing under +35 and not under +20 offset to be safe and no larger than 9 in the rear to clear fenders. Thanks a lot guys, helped out a lot.

aright found some that were 9.5 wide but +43 offset!?!?! thats really close! I know lower the offset "deeper the dish." All i'm looking for is slightly aggressive but mainly a flush look with my fenders.

Spacers? again would it work?
