Purchasing Enkei Rims

Will these rims fit on an 05 sedan? Or will i need to offset them? Im getting a great deal on them and wanna make sure its gonna fit. Thanks.

The info I have is that they are 18 inches, lug pattern 5x100, tires are Corsa 225/40/18.

Get wheels that fit, don't get parts to make your wheels fit.

Apart from them being nasty, they will not fit.

To make this deal 'work' you'd need hub adapters. Then your offsets will be WAY OFF. You'll need fender work to make them work. Not rolled fender, PULLED fenders.

All in all, you're looking at spending at least $2,500 in bodywork and time researching shops, offsets, etc, etc, etc...

Just spend that money on some wheels that will fit.

You can get the Maxima Nismo rims (19x8.5) for around $650 for all four on ebay. If you do the 30% cash back from Ebay/Microsoft Live/Paypal you end up paying a little under $500. Buy something like that and save up for the tires. Put them on when you can afford the tires. These rims are made by Rays and are forged.

See the second post for pics.

please do some research before you want to school someone on offset. although the offset is way off for his vehicle(the offset is HIGHER than oem wheels, which means they will sit more in to the fender), he will not need to pull his fenders...he would only have to if the wheels were a -12 offset or so.

technically...he can run the wheels with a 5x100 to 5x114 spacer/adapter and make the wheels work on his vehicle ...but why??? those wheels are factory scion tc wheels and they are ugly.

the only time you will need to roll/pull fenders is if you are running a LOW aggressive offset wheel or if youre running a pretty wide tire that might come in contact with the fender edge
