Unhappy Will 18x10's work on my car?

Hey all,
I found some Volk GT-P's in 18x10's and +44 offset. I'm just wondering if these will fit on my car? Anybody running 18x10's, and what did you have to do? Any help and input would be great.

There's a wheel/tire forum, most every wheel fitment issue question has been asked over there. I'm sure you'll be able to find out.

I'm going through this myself with the GT-C. Rishie (ARDT2) thinks they *may rub* with the tires I want to use 285/30's with that type of offset on the back. It depends on the tires I guess you are going to run. I'm going with +50, and 18x 9 on the front.

No doubt that you posted on the wrong forum...just a matter of moments before it gets moved I'm sure.

in the rear positions only, but fronts will rub the fender lips. You'll need to roll the front fender lips for the 45-mm offset to work up front.

It's all about offset. Please don't forget. A part of it has to do with the tire size and model you choose as well. But rule of thumb, minimum offset to run up front should be a +50.

Like this test fitment for example. Foko's wheels on Neevosh's car:

This is the proven "Cooper" Fitment.

I wish. I was just test fitting them for Fabian's car. The last set from Kinesis had the wrong center bore and had to be shipped back. That was after a three month wait. So Rishie likes to test fit them before. They looked so good on my car. I didn't want to give them back.
