Default 5ZIGEN wheels question

I'm looking into getting some new wheels and tires and I just want to run these by you guys. Now I'm not looking for 8lb rims for racing, these are for cosmetic purposes. Right now I' looking at the 5ZIGEN SC3000 wheels and TOYO PROXES T1R tires.

rims

tires


the wheel size is 18x7.5 +48 offset 5-114.3 bolt pattern and the tires are 215/40/18.
I plan on having all same size wheels all around.

my question is will I have any problems with the setup or will I have to modify fenders or whatnot.

215 is pretty small for the rear...

edit: Based off AP2 wheels
the front rims will stick out 13mm more and the rear 4mm more

too narrow for the rear. its ok for the front though. i would recommend choosing another wheel. maybe look into MRR wheels if you want something affordable and looks close...

yeah 215 tires in the rear is going to be a train wreck ...

i would stick with a staggered setup and properly sized tires

what if i did

18x8 front
18x9 rear

215/40/18 front
255/35/18 rear

although the offset for these wheel specs probably isn't high enough

if you are going to run a 18x8 .. i would go with a 225 40

215 on a 8" rim is a bit narrow ...

what you are generally going to find is that most cheap rims .. dont come in s2k friendly offsets...

why not look at a set of rotas ? there are quite a few options that fit the s2k very well .. and they are cheap and light weight
