well, they're better than the miglias... it sounds like they'll fit just fine up front, but i'm no so sure about the rear. you'll need someone else to chime in that has more experience for a definite answer about that +40 offset

Those fitments will be ok. However, Axis wheels aren't known for either high quality nor light weight. I would be EXTREMELY surprised if those wheels actually only weighed 22 lbs in 18x9.5. I know the Axis mesh wheel weighs in the 30 lb neighborhood in that size.

I had the wheelmax guy call the manufacturer for weight and that's what he came back with.

by quality, do they fade, lose finish?

oh and would a 18x7.5 with 42 offset fit better up front than a 18x8.5 and 45 offset?

My friend had some axis wheels and they bent very easily. they had to be repaired a few times.

and the 18x8.5 +45 is just fine. Why would you want to put an 18x7.5 up front, the stock rims are 8" wide! going to a skinnier wheel makes no sense.

Just paranoid about fitment since my current 8 inchers rub horribly.... I know I currently have wrong offset was just a small thought.
