Default 18" TSW Reflex wheels

My fren is selling his TSW Reflex measuring 18x7.5 with +35 offset front and rear. I really like the 3GS 18" wheels but I can't found it in my country However when this wheels turned up for sale, I can see that it looks almost like a 3GS 18" wheels





Will the wheels fits with the offset or I need to add spacers to mount it properly?

Rather Narrow, it'll fit but if you'd like it to sit sorta close to flush I'd at least do a 20mm rear and about a 15mm front?

I think 3GS wheels are atleast 8" wide. But I like the look of those TSWs.

I like it too since its almost similar to the 3GS wheels. The 3GS in our country only comes with 17" wheels

With 7.5" width, I will buy spacers to push the wheels outward

Are you sure it is not 45? +45 at that. Definitely not - offsets. Either way, the OP will need spacers to flush them out more.

With +35 offset, what is the thickness of the spacer I can use to make the wheels sit flush with the body?
