Default ordered my new wheels

So I ordered the Avant Garde M310 in Dolphin Grey 18 x 8.5 +35 225/ 40 18 re970 tires.

I cant wait should have them tuesday. This is my first ever wheel upgrade on a car. I hope I did the right thing with size an all. Not looking to drop my car and I was afraid to get 19's here in NYC. I just hold my breath when i drive here hoping not to stumble on a nice little pot hole of heaven.


so it is what it is. Will post pics if anyone is interested

.

don't worry...first time we're prone to make "mistakes"....just use it for a year and sell the wheels and get new ones haha

I just recently got XXR 527 18x8.75 +35...now I hoped I got +20 for the rear so thinking about changing to some other 18x9 wheels next spring
Tires are good so going to keep 'em

Nice! Good choice of wheels, I like the design. Please post pics when you get them installed! I'd love to see how they look so I have a reference point for my own car.

those are some dope wheels, does anyone know what the offset is for the stock 18 inch wheels?
(the ones that are double spoke start pattern, i believe they came on the 2006-2008 models and may be 18x8.5)
