Wheel Offset question
I bought some 18" wheels 4X100 bolt pattern with a +43 offset. I'm running stock brakes on an 04 MCS, any problems? Appreciate any comments...thanks

That depends on the width of the rims themselves plus the size of the tires.

shouldnt be a problem...
but fitting 215/35/17's on an 18" wheel will be difficult
im guessing you meant 215/35/18

measure the backing where the wheel bots to the hub out to the rim . then get that measurement from the new wheel . it'll be more . more tire under the car .

Go lower on the offset and use camber to help avoid rubbing
