Finally picked out my wheels, will this work?

Hey, guys, after 7 hours of research (I feel like I looked at every rim in the world), I settled with the enkei RPM2 which weight around 18lbs, and are forged. There is a link to auction below, it is a great price b/c they retail for 250-300 each. I have 245/40/18 SO'3 sitting in my garage ready for the wheels, wheels are 18X8, 5X114.3, 35MM offset and center bore 73mm. As far as I know, everything will fit right?

Thanks for everyone's help in picking these out versus the imagine's.

3 posts for 1 set of rims???? not flaming, but i don't like the rims too much. i prefer a modest look for the max. not fancy. something very simple would work for me. give me a set of split 5-starts, and i am happy

Agree.
And all the posts are the same busy-style looking rims. And pretty much all the opinions been the same... too busy! If you really like them so much, just pick up the phone and order them.

everyone has different taste for wheels. Its pretty obvious he likes that type of wheel since is almost identical to the ones he has now. If they are chrome they will look nice on your car. When your ready to settle the car down let me know. I already did other members suspension since they were not happy about the 4x4 look. Nice wheel nice weight, good choice.

For that price, are you sure they are forged? Regardless, you got them at a great price and they are light.

That size tire will fit fine on an 18x8 wheel. As far as the rims themselves, I don't know for sure about the bolt pattern, but any reputable tire shop that puts the wheels on for you should put on hubcentric rings if the center bore is too big.
