Hey guys,

a friend is selling his volk te37s to me for a good price. However, it was on a 2002 protege5. Here are the specs of the wheels:

18x7.5
offset +48
tires: nitto neogen 215/35/18

Would this work? Let me know, thanks ahead...

Lanson

The Volks is fine (though you still might need to roll your fender) but the tires are too small and sinky for our car. It will throw your speedometer off. For 18's the recommended size is 225/40-18. Even that the speedo will be off a bit.

Looked at your sig and it doesn't look like you have any aftermarket springs.
You might want to look at getting springs too because the wheel gap will be especially large with a 35-series tyre.
