Default will these baddest wheels fit

I have an 01 lude, the rim is the HP Racing Evo in hypersilver dark. one awesome rim if u havent seen it yet, will it fit tho, it is a 18x8 with a 38 mm offset. Now the lowest we can go is 40mm on the offest, but will this still work, its only 2mm differnece? the guy said he can probably squeeze some 215 35 18 tires on, and if these dont fit, y does it seem like the best stuff dont go wit ludes, is the world out for me, say there is hope!! n if it makes a difference, my car is not lowered. or at least not yet, thanks u all!!!! JOe

no it's +55mm and those rims won't fit. you'll rub the outside of the fender unless you roll them.

you have another option of milling down the mounting hub a few millimeters, but getting it to the ideal +48mm (a 1cm milling) sounds sketchy. keep looking for another rim.

If you want your rim to be tucked in the fender well, you would want a higher or lower offset?

this dont make sense then, the company i am getting these rims from told me that their computer says it will fit, and jus barely, but they will work or they will let me get a credit or exchange. I talk to a few local shops some tell me with the right offset they will fit others tell me they wont fit!?! n e ways, i saw rims on tires.com, the konig prophet in size 19x8 wit a 38 mil offset, as a choice of rim that will fit on a 5th gen lude, and so now i am confused???? oh well
