They will bolt on, but you may have some strut and fender rubbing with that offset...

What is the width of your rim..Anything more than 8.5" will rub for sure.

225/40/18 tires would mean hes running a 7.5" width rim

38 offset wont fit... for 18"s it should be 44 for your gen2

shouldnt have bought wheels if you dont know if theyll fit or not

225 yields a 7.5" width... trust me on that one. ive never seen a car rim that is 4.5", that is rediculous. i hope you know what youre doing
