Unhappy Need help from a rim guru

Would Racing Hart C5 18x8s fitted on a 98 Honda 2 Door Coupe fit onto a Sc300 fine? I think the C5s also have the 5x114.3 pattern on them as well but I am wondering about offsets. The last thing I want to do is have a ghetto car with rims tucked in too far or worse sticking out the sides. I would have to crush my car into a cube and sell it for metal before I could live with that.

Also if anyone happened to know if Supra TT brakes would work in these. Thx.

I would say it's too narrow and it's going to sit it too far...

Default Check with JacobT

Hermosa,

check with JacobT..He has the C-5's in 18...I think he had to shave the calipers though. I'd alos check to see what the offset is...I think his was +41. PM him, he may even be able to tell you where on the rim you can find the offset markings.

I am getting a great deal on 18x8s so I will keep those until I find other rims. I just don't like the stock wheels and they have to go quick =)

6 spoke? i dont' recall those. all i remember is the multi-spoke on the 93+ and the 5 star 97+. how much did you want to let them go for? with tires?

that sucks you traded your lights, i was willing to trade and about 100 bucks cash. it's cool though.
