Hey guys ust ordered new wheels, and I was wondering if anyone knew if I need hub rings? Also wondering about fitment. I have seen a couple of people running these on the board. Any problems or concerns. Rear 18x9.5 46 offset. Fronts are 18x8.5 38 off. My car is Brazen orange and I got the hyper black which is kinda gray looking. Should look good will post pics when I get them.:wiggle:

As far as the hubrings go they should be used to keep the wheels hubcentric. You just need to know what the bore size is now, so you can get the proper hubrings. If they are cut for a BMW then you can get some hubrings off of CsiJason on here. He has a few sets of billet hubrings left.
As for fitment. In front you should be fine with a 235 or 245 tire. In the back it really depends car to car. How is your cradle alignment? Does it look like one tire sticks out farther than the other? If you try them out and it rubs on acceloration then you can get new rear springs that have a stiffer spring-rate to lessen the squat under acceloration. Just to be safe you could run a 235/40 in front and a 265/35 in back. Unless you don't mind cutting your fender lips.

Mikey340 sweet car man. Wheels look really good. Are those chrome or the hyperblack? As far as the hubrings go I got ahold of pixman and he is checking to see if he has any more. Hopefully everything goes well. Thanks for the responses, and again your car looks great.

you dont NEED hubrings but they're not a bad idea. and youll need to roll your rear fenders to run 275s out back. depending on your front tire size, you cant lower the front also. other than that, nothing
