18x10.5"? Possible or not?

I found some 18x10.5" FR-500 style wheels I really like, and very cheap. Offset is +45 and backspacing is 7.52. Will these fit on an s197 without rubbing? I searched for an hour and didn't find anything on here about 10.5" 18's. If they will fit, what size tire will fit? My Mach 1's are pretty beat up. Time for some new wheels.

Cool. Any idea on tire size? I looked for some calculators, but I couldn't really find exactly what I was looking for.

kdw2 come in 295/35 and 315/30 and 335/30 (335 is too big for a 10.5 wheel)

Yea i found those same wheels. For the price, thats sweet as hell. Does anyone know if 315/30 will fit on the rear with these wheels. Also does anyone know the weight of these wheels. That is a huge factor for me. The ones i was lookin at before (axis reverbs) were about double the price lol but only wieghed 22lbs. Thats pretty good for a 10.5 wide rim. If anyone could give me the weight on these i would apprecaiate it.

315 will fit, but overall diameter will be much smaller than stock. If you're lowered it'll be OK, but it'll make the wheel wells look even bigger, and it will change your speeo a bit.

It's a shame they don't make a 315/35/18 or even a 315/35/19

I am getting ready to buy some wheels and tires and want the widest I can get for the back. I have heard that 315's wont fit.
