Need help with wheels

Hi, I'm thinking of buying some used Advanti Speed by Nippon Racing wheels and I have no idea wether or not they would fit the Max. Here are the specs: 18x7.5, Michellin Pilot Sports 235/40ZR18 front and 245/40ZR18 rear. They are a double bolt pattern with both 5x114.3 and 5x100. Thanks for your help guys!

5x114.3 is the right bolt pattern. But that's all i know

What is the offset of the wheels?

A 245 tire is too wide for a 7.5" wide wheel.

I'm not sure what the offset is but I'll find out. They were on a Supra before. What do you guys think:



Does the Gunmetal gray go with a Superblack car or should I go with chrome?

235 and 245 is too wide for a 7.5" wide wheel. 225 is the max within manufacturer spec. They will fit a Max, but those rims too skinny for those tires.

Is there a chart of this some where? I am thinking about getting Phantom GT-R rims in either 17x7 or 18x7.5 so I want to see what tire choices I have.

I've heard of people on the .Org doing a 235/50/17 on the stock 7" wheels with no problem?
