Default Will these rims fit?

I have a '99 SC400. I am interested in buying some Volk Racing CE28N rims that are 18X8.5 and 18X9.5 both a 40mm offset. Will these fit? If so, what size tires should I run?

Are you selling your Modas? PM me if you want to sell them after you get these rims...

I'm 90% sure that they will fit...

do you have a brake upgrade and is your car dropped? if not do you know if your offsets will be able to clear a brake upgrade. just askin because im getting 18x8.5 , 18x9.5 and do luck recommended those offsets all around so i can get the biggest lip possible and i was a little worried about it hittin the suspension and not clearing a brake upgrade? thanks alot

djsoarer i'm not sure how your rims are but my rims (the spokes) stick out they will def clear. my car isn't dropped but it looks like i can drop the car like 2 inches lol. you will have plenty of space don't worry. i'm pretty sure that your brakes will clear too. it just depends on how your rim is built.
