The offset is wrong, there is nothing you can do about it unless you go for flared arches.

Are you sure they're ET40? Ormi's car is on ET35 I think and they don't stick out like that

I would take the rim off and just double check the off set

they should fit in fine as there is other members running 18x8's with a 35et and not having a problem

have you got a side on pic of the car

[ormi]

no danger they are a et35!!mibbi et 25 :o i'm runnin 18/8.et35 and they sit further in than that,heres a few pics(mines the green is200)

the last pic shows my wheels sitting flush with the body work.

I checked the wheels and it's 8.5JX18

whats the offset?? and 8.5"wide you have a low offset with a wide wheel thats the problem matey.if you lower it or even if your cars full you might get some rubbing issues.

The offset is et40. I rang your man whom i bought the wheels from and told them about it. He had it collected yesterday and will be replacing them with the proper ones:) I hope they'll get it right this time. Thanks everyone!!!

et40 thats about right mate and 8.5's will go on and sit fine with that offset.
