Even more confused - Help needed I've read and re-read all the info but I'm no closer to understanding. Please dont think I'm being lazy, I have tried to work the sizes out.
OK, rather than try and guess what rims and tires will fit, I have found a supplier who G'tees the following to fit without any modifications.
Wheel Sizes:
(2) 18x8.5" (Fronts)
(2) 18x10.5" (Rears)
Lug Pattern:
5x4.75" (same as 5x120.65mm)
Offsets:
18x8.5" wheels: +56mm offset (6.95" back spacing)
18x10.5" wheels: +58mm (8.00" back spacing)
Center Bore:
70.3mm
Tires Nitto NT555
(2) 245/40ZR18 (Fronts)
(2) 285/35ZR18 or 295/35ZR18 (Rears)
My car has been lowered 1.5" (Eibach)
My brain is totally swiss cheesed about all this, so before I take the plunge, as I have to import into the UK, I hope someone will help me out. If you need any more info please ask.
Thanks in advance guys.

Will they fit? Yes . .
Will they be tucked in the wheel wells? Yes . . .
Will you need to do some BFH massaging out back? Possibly.
With 285's most likely not. With 295's, chances are greater.

Thank you for taking the time to answer my question, I feel better now knowing that they will fit. Already emailed the supplier for a quote. Thanks again.
Yes they will definitely fit. But like xsta said, with 295+ you will have to either use spacers, or do the bfh mod. I would just go with spacers and new wheel studs. Here's a coupla pics of my car with and without spacers on back. My rear tires are 295/35/18

Your wheels look similar to the ones I'm thinking off.
Thanks again.
