Thumbs up Inquiry Concerning 18 Inch Rims + Tires Package

I own a tC 2009 and am wondering if this configuration would fit. Also, some personal opinion concerning the website would help too. I don't know a lot about cars so any help is appreciated.

18 Inch Verde Calibre Rims 18x7.5


WITH ACHILLES ATR SPORT TIRES (Summer)
225/40/18

$1197 out the door/free shipping, mounting, balancing

Is this a good deal, and if so, can I just throw these on my car when they arrive?

I'm not a fan of those wheels, you can get better packages if you're budget is going to be $1200. Get some Rotas at least. LOL What kind of wheels are you looking for? Why these wheels? I don't know much about Wheelsnext, aside from the fact that they always have ads in car magazines.

For $1200 you can get a set of used forged wheels.

I'm not a fan of those either, and not worth the cash imo. I would look at wheeldude.com for some rotas if you want some new rims. Or browse this site and find some rims that you like for a lot cheaper then $1200.

Or if you really like them and want to spend the cash then go ahead. If they come mounted and balanced then yea you could just put them on when they arrive.

Most tire places charge like $10 per wheel to mount and balance. $40 total

Thanks for the input. I've decided to just stick with the rims but in 17". I got a quote from MrWheelDeal, who's actually located right next to me, for $532.

Fitment depends on wheel size, width, tire size (all of which you provided), but it also depends on bolt pattern, wheel offset and how much you're lowered.

I'm running 18x7.5 +35 offset wheels with 22/40/18 tires, lowered 2" on Hotchkis Springs, but it rubs in the rear. I had to roll the rear fenders but it fits fine.
