If the fitment is like the 278's then a 45mm offset on an 18 will not clear the calipers in the front. Just FYI since I went down that road.

You should be able to do the 8.5 width wheels up front with a 35mm offset just like us 278 guys do.

Those spokes appear to flare more than the 278's though, so MAYBE the 9.5 width 45mm wheel will work up front. It's a gamble.

Not a fan in chrome, it's just to much bling for me.

Low offset in the rear and higer in the front for more lip
