Default would these fit?

would an 18x8 rim with a 35mm offset fit a tc? how would it look to the fender.

i don't know much about wheels. what does the off set mean?

is your tC lowered? anyway, the lower the offset is, the further the lip sticks out. an 8" wide wheel with +35mm offset will sit tucked in little bit. i have that same fitment with a 225/40/18 tire on my tC, which is lowered on h-techs. i just barely rub only over big bumps. hope that helps.

More importantly, what's the bolt pattern of the rims you're looking at?
Anything other than 5x100 and you're screwed.

so these are the wheels that i am looking at.
http://www.enkei.com/ekm3.html

i wanna stick with the 17x7 cause i don't want to rub. I am lowered on eibach sportlines. I was wondering how the 45 offset would put the wheel in the wheel well. my front tire tucks a little is that gonna be a problem?

I was also considering the 18x7.5 how would that work for bothe the 38 and 45 offset?

you're not dropped enough to worry about all that rubbing, and 18x8+35 isn't too aggressive. if you're really worried, stick with +38.
