Hey All, My Vibes B-Day is today lol 1 year old haha.But anyways. I wanted to get rims for the longest time and just had a few quick questions...Im ordering from WheelMaxhttp://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=10551Those are the rims I want to purchase.I was just wondering if the 38 offset would give me any trouble?The tire Im getting to go on them is a All Season tire with 225/40/18.I used the Tire Size Calculator and it said it is .08% too slow, so thats not bad lol.Just wondering if everything would work well and look decent and not rub? And is there anything special or anything I need to do with adjusting my car for the rims?Thanks In Advance, Really appreciate it!

Those will work just fine and look excellent. The only thing you might need is hubcentric rings if the center hole is a different size than the stock hub size. I needed these for my Motegi rims. They were $12.00 for a set of 4 metal ones.

Don't know about the offset but those are some pretty sharp looking wheels!

They will work fine. I believe the stock wheel offset is also 38mm, so you are good there. I also have 18" and am running 225/40/18. I'm also lowered 2" and there is no rubbing. You will have no problems with rubbing. The ride is nice and the look is great on a lowered Vibe. Those wheels are very cool! Remember to post pics when you have them on.What tires are you getting?

The tires Im going to go with are the Toyo Proxes FZ-4. I wanted a All Season Tire incase I run into some snow/ice. I figure I would put my stock rims/tires back on when winter rolls around next year so they stay nice lol.But I probably wont put them on right away when I get them, probably not till febuary or march, when it gets a little nicer out. I dont know if I will lower mine or not. It looks real nice lowered, But I wanted to get Tint after the rims lol.Thanks for all the help. I really found this helpful! I appreciate everything

I think I found another set of Rims I like..But Im not too sure about the finish, it is Bright Silver Paint.http://www.tirerack.com/servle...ecial=Does anyone know how good the finish will last? It has a year warrenty on it, but I dont want the paint to chip since I live back a dirty road with stones. And the offset is +35 with them. That should be ok right?And heres the tires I would get with them.http://www.tirerack.com/tires/...ace=0They have a lot of good reviews.
