Default HP Racing Wheels 18"

I've always loved the look of the BBS LM type wheels, or the Volk GT-U wheels. The only problem is that I don't believe in breaking the bank for a set of "flshy" rims. I can understand paying for technology such as 3-piece forged, or magnesium wheels... but paying for the looks doesn't make sense.

So, I have found a happy alternative in the HP Racing EVO wheel.
http://www.wheelguyz.com/shop/browse.asp?cat=6&path=3,6

How can I figure out what offset I will need from this wheel, and has anyone had any experience with these before?
I did call the vendor and discovered they will sell me a staggered set, in this confirguration:
18x8 front +38 offset 225/40/18 tire
18x9 Rear +38 offset 245/40/18

Will this work???

Thanks

that set up that they gave you will not work, especially with a 225/245 combo. i would suggest offsets higher than 50.

Crap, I just checked the "wheel fitment guide" sticky at the top of the forum.

.... according to that they probably won't fit
