I think im gonna go with these wheels...will they fit correctly?

I have stock 18's and honestly I like them alot but I always change my wheels on all my cars just to have something different and I always go with 5 spoke cause IMHP they look best on any cars...

I got 245/45/18 in back....and right now 235/45/18 in front which are bad anyways and need to be replaced with the correct 225/45/18 right?

Just making sure the offset and everything is fine before I buy. I have a black 03 coupe.

thanks

Those offsets seem kind of high for a coupe, I think those would be good on a sedan but you should probably keep looking.

It's going to be even more sunk in with an 8" width.

For my personal preference, I would at least do 9" in the front and 10" in the rear (no homo).

I'm not big into the stance scene, so I wouldn't recommend you getting single digit offsets. Look for something in the mid to high teens.

Its not that it needs a 10" wide wheel to handle the power, it just looks bad-***! From reading what other people have, common widths range from 8.5 - 9.5 (front) and 9 - 10.5 (rear). I agree with konxeptionz on the offsets, mid to high teens should be perfect. 40 is waaaaaaay to high and will not look right on a coupe.
