hope these blitz will fit my 3rd gen??
 
i went ahead and bought these rims because they were a bargain i couldnt refuse, and i hope these will fit, i should imagine there should be some rubbing under breaking and heavy cornering, anybody want to confirm this?? my car is lowered slightly but im hoping this will be ok for normal driving :confused:

the front is offset et30 235/40/18

rear offset et40 265/40/18

i know ideally they should be et40-50 but that sadly wasnt an option

anyway here they are:

You don't list rim widths but I'm assuming the fronts are 8-8.5 inch and the rears are 9-9.5 inch? You will be fine at the rears but you are screwed up front. Rolling the fenders up front might not even be enough.....

well i got them fitted, and the front are fine only rub slightly at full lock, its the rears that are the prob, when going any sort of speed then it rubs on the arch i assume, so need to raise the suspension slightly, nothings ever simple lol

Those wheels sure look sharp, but maaaan are they heavy. Have you noticed a big decrease in 1st gear acceleration and initial throttle response?

havent really pushed it since i have had them on, but they are actually lighter than my old Work wheels so if anything i'll notice an increase :D
