they are 35 mm... the recommended offsets are like 38-50mm or something, but 3mm is not noticeable, i don't think they will rub in the rear... only way they might is if i was going into a really steep parking lot at a sharp angle... but it was pretty angled in my driveway at one point, and one side was tucking under the rear 1/4 and there was no rubbing. I prob wouldnt go any wider tires in the rear though. I cant say 100% because i havent even driven the car yet with them on... so i can update if there are any issues. I know alot of guys on this forum run the same rims in 18s with no issues so i don't expect there to be any.
thx!! i have eibach prokit springs w strano revalved bilsteins... love it!
lovin' the feedback so far... i must have got 10 pms so far about them lol.

I have a set of those in 18x9.5 all the way around on my T/A. I think I may have been one of the first to have them (put them on the car in 05') and have to say they look great and are very original. Can't beat the price.
Sorry to rain on your parade, but the quality is sub par, and the wheel lip is not polished or chrome, but a high gloss silver paint with clear coat over. After having the wheels less than a year, the clear coat on the lip has all kinds of scratches on it, and is even peeling off in some spots.
I woould probably buy these wheels again, but the first thing I would do is mask them and clear coat the lip with some high quality clear.
