18 X 7.5 Wheels on 2k1 SE

Would those fit well with 235/40/18 tires? The wheels come w/ either +42 or +48 offset. Which offset should I go with?

BTW, what's my bolt pattern? 5x100 or 5x114.3?

I pretty sure you want to go with the 42, but not enough that you should rely on my opinion alone. From what I've read on the org, we want to keep our offsets below 45.

I don't know the answer to the tire size question either. I used to have a great link with all that info but it's not working.

tirerack recommends 235/40/18. I'm pretty sure people are running 245s on their maximas but their rims are 18X8 I believe. Ones I want to get are 18X7.5

I have 18x8 with 245/40-18. Fits nicely

In your case I would recommend 235. Offset 42 or less.

Federal tires, SS 595. I think that's the model. Very nice traction + plus even nicer price

honestly I have no idea, cuz I paid for a package, with rims, mount/balance and installation. On the reciept it say something like $85 per tire, but I don't think they would sell them separately for that price.
