Default Work VS-XX rims

Just found these Work VSXX rims, just wondering would they fit? Now ive got my eye on 2 different sizes if ive read the table right:-

Deep rim disk
front - 18 x 7.5" (offset 52)
rear - 18 x 8.5" (offset 64)

or

front -18 x 8.0" (offset 45)
rear - 18 x 9.0" (offset 58)

would these fit the s? Oh and one last thing can any1 explain what Standard Disk, Deep rim disk and sbig caliper disk means? See the link below if it works,

Cheers guys

Work VS-XX

The OEM offsets are +55 and +65 front and back respectively. Therefore the first set have more ideal offsets and slightly narrower rims which I would prefer with a 215 and 245 width, front and back, respectively. Having said all that, can't guarantee they won't rub when lowered. It seems a black art with 18" wheels, and no doubt due to differing tyre dimensions as well as offset.

Very similar to the BBS Le Mans. Have a check of the weight compared to stock ones. I'd also do a search on the main forum to check out experiences with them from the US guys. I know these have been fitting in the US. Are you going to drop it down? If not you should be OK with the tyres Craig suggested.

Cheers guys, Yeah thats the problem im thinking of getting it lowered aswell? I dont know to much about these rims yet but will ask the US guys for more info. Do you think im best off getting 17's just to be on the safe side?

All I will say is I've had two sets of 18's on an S and have now bought 17's so I can get the suspension the way I want it
