im about to pick these rims up tommorow for my seven. i have a brembo brake kit on the car but its still 4 lug no conversion. the rims are 17x7 with a 40mm offset and they are 4x100 or 4x114.3. what does everyone think?

They should fit fine if your car is a SE or has SE suspension. Otherwise 40mm is to much offset.

The back side of the rim is stamped with the offset, usually it says ET 40mm its a plus 40mm offset. I not sure if they have (-) offsets
