Getting some wheels tonight.
So my friend from Scottsdale cued me to these Mille Miglia EV-S wheels on Craigslist for $400/obo. My bud got them for me for $300, not bad. They are 18X8 with 235/40/18 Yokohama AVS ES 100's. This will be my first 18's that i have ever owned. I really would have liked to get some deep dishes, but for only $300 im satisfied. Tell me what you think.

I dont know what the offset is yet, they are in AZ while im in SD, im having them shipped soon. Will it actually say what it is on the wheel? All i know is that i told my friend to measure from the part of the wheel that makes contact with the rotor to the outside edge of the tire~~~~that being 2 3/4 to 3 inches, i hope that helps. BTW, im thinking of keeping it 235/40/18 in the front but putting 255/35/18 on the back. Would that be ok looking?

I guess my friend that still has them in his apartment, (he's shipping them out on Sat.), said that the tires are hashed on the inner, due to the negative camber the previous owner was running. So ive already ordered 2 used Bridgestone Potenza RE 050 255/35/18's for the rears, and 2 used Continental Conti Sport 2 235/40/18's for the fronts. All 4 are at about 6/32's, so not a ton of tread left, but they should get me by for the next 2 summer's. I cant wait, these will be the widest tires ive had for rears ever! BTW Pure, if the offset is kind of aggressive, do you think that the 255's will hit the fender? What is the biggest offset that u could run before this happens?

i have no idea since you never listed a standard (+Xmm) offset, for example, my old 8.5w +35 rims had no clearance issues with 245/40s but hit the lip on 245/45s.
that being said, the rear can handle a more aggressive fitment so i doubt if you have anything higher than +20 rear wheel thats 8-8.5" wide you'll prolly be fine with no fender mods...
again, id need some actual offset numbers to be of any real help.
most 1pc wheels ive seen have the offset stamped on the inside somewhere, as a +xx or ETxx
