18" wheel and offset

Would a 18" x 8.5 wheel with a 32mm offset front/rear fit the 3rd Gen? And what is the widest tire one could run ? Also I can't remember our bolt pattern...

Thanks

Only because I've never got to do this before...

NO

offset is too low, at least 42 is good.

Bolt pattern is known by these identifiers (they are all the same, physically):
5x114.3mm
5x114mm
5x4.5"

40mm-42mm with 235/35 or 245/35 would be your best bet. I have used both of these with no problems. 32mm will have rubbing issues.
