Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

If you already have them, why don't you just put them on and see how they look?

Those are a worse fit than OEM. Get something that is wider and has a better offset, you will be much happier.

That's still really heavy for an 18x8! My 19x9.5 fronts are about that.
