I have tein s-techs. The seller thinks the offset is +4. He's selling them with 225/40 tires all around.

Pics of 18s with the same or similiar sized wheels would be really helpful.

Unless they are one off customs, I doubt they are +4.

The most extreme 4 lug sized FN's are 17x9 +20.

They don't even make the 18s in 4 lug.

Edit: I lied. There are actually 4 lug 18" FN's. They certainly aren't +4 though.

I didn't think they were +4. They're probably around a +30 from what he tells me. He said they didn't tub with his s-techs or slammed with coilovers.

Dude, FN's are one of the most popular wheels out there. Use ****ing GOOGLE.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but you are being lazy.

turns out they are 18X7.5s all the way around. I'm still not sure of the offset though.

I just installed the wheels and I think I need hubcentriuc rings because the front shakes at high speeds. It didn't shake with stock wheels.

Would rings get rid of any play? Poly or metal?

I looked at the FAQs but couldn't fund anything about tuner lugs.

Do I NEED tuner lugs?

thanks!

Get hubcentric rings from http://www.splparts.com.

If you are good at tightening down the lugs properly with the car off the ground, you don't need them though.

...as in if they're broken?

I've seen some sites that sell wheels and they say you that some wheels require aftermarket lugs.

some wheels require aftermarket lugs because the stock lug wrench won't fit down into the holes of the wheel. Aftermarket lugs have included deep sockets that will fit easily into the holes.

The only 4 lug 18x7.5 FN's come width a +42 offset. Make sure youre not rubbing anywhere. These sit really close to the strut.http://www.5zigenusa.com/produ....html
