I've been searching all day long to see if a set of 18x8 wheels with a 38 offset will work on a MCS and all I can find are posts with 18x7.5's. Is there any possible way that the 18x8's could fit without serious consequences? Here is a pic of what they would look like.

The wheels that I am getting are a 4 lug setup, but when I did the photoshop mock up, the best pictures I could find were the 5 lug setup. Essentially the wheels are a bmw m3 replica, but with a 4 lug setup. The wheels in the pictures are just a set that I got off a wheel and tire website for bmw oem wheels. Anyone have any ideas weather or not the width is going to be a problem?
