Wheel Offsets ??

Hey guys, I could use a little expertise here. Looking at changing the stock wheels out for 18" Bradas. Here are the specs:

18x9 ET +32 (3 inch step-lip)
18x10 ET +38 (3.5 inch step-lip)

Will they fit?

I'm not lowered yet, but I do have a set of KW Sport springs waiting to be installed as well.

A little poke never hurt anyone! I'm more concerned with them clearing brake calipers, control arms, etc.

I am pretty confident the fronts will fit.... but.....
#1 the calipers might still hit wheel depending on wheel design, I tried a 17x9 with et 30 and even with 20mm spacer fronts still hit caliper
#2 I run 18x8.5 et45 with 20mm spacer front (for 25et) and they poke just the right amount in my opinion


#3 I do run 215/40/18 front And 225/40/18 rear.
I think rears would fit just don't mount wider than 245 on the rear, do a mild stretch 235 - 235...I didn't feel the need for a tire wider than 225 on back, I just roll the Merc!!!! The deal is its not hard to fit wide aggresive wheels, its hard to fit wide fat tires,,,,,,,
