Sounds OK to me. The fronts will tuck in a bit. Depends on the wheel though.

The wheels are Maya Stm'z. Im curious how heavy they are gonna be and how durable. I was wondering if anyone knows how much they weigh? if not im going to have to see what it is when it gets shipped here. Another thing, why is that the front is ognna be a bit tucked? Is it more lip on the wheel if it has more positive offset? sorry new at rims. Thx

Stock fronts are 8" wide, +30mm offset. With 8.5" wide +36mm offset. Your adding .25" on each side for added width, and substracting .12" (.24"/2) for the diminished offset. So, maybe I spoke to soon, without thinking, your new wheels should sit out .13" further than stock 18s (not really noticable). My 8.5" Nismos have a +25mm offset and sit just where I like them. The lower the number, the more they will sit away from the car.

Good luck with your new wheels.

The bolt pattern is wrong, that alone wont allow it to fit.
