HP Evo's on a 2000 I30

Hey guys...I have a few questions about fitment of these wheels. I ordered a set of 18x8 HP Evo's and just UNsuccessfully tried to mount them. The front will mount but the center cap will not and the rear won't mount up at all - wont fit over the spindle on the rear rotor (does it matter that I have ABS and rotors on all 4 wheels?). I am thinking that I need to request another offset (?) (they sent me 38mm - i think). I have two questions:

1- If i stay with the 18x8's what is the correct offset? Will this fix the fitment issues?

2 - what is the widest wheel i can go with? Anyone know if I can run a staggered set up on my car (2000 Infiniti I30). Thinking I might want to try 18x9 in the rear (??)

Any help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

Keep the same size all around, it makes it much easier to rotate tires.

Will a spacer correct the bore problem in the rear as well?

Thanks Man!! one more question...is 225/40/18 too small? In the I30 forum I was just told that I should run a 245/40/18 or at the very least a 235/40/18....

I suggest contacting the person you got the wheels from first. These shouldn't need any extra work to be mounted.

Ok....the rear won't mount due to the dustcap. But from what you're saying centering rings should correct that problem, right?

I have heard that some people remove the dust cap entirely (or hammer it flat)....but this sounds like it may be problematic...any thoughts?

Thanks for all the help TE. Here is what I have concluded:
1 - i need to send all 4 wheels and tires back and request 245/40/18's
2 - make sure that they include 10mm hubcentric spacers and centering rings
3 - i'm going to go with the 18x9 in the back, so I will need to remove the dustcap in the rear

Ok....i think that about covers it.....if there are anymore thoughts please feel free to share! Thanks!
