These are def all OK as far as Stud pattern and size go....
Just a bit worried about the offset of these, I know the standard for 3rd gens is +46.....
What sort of offset are ppl with 18z running??
Im assuming from the tyre size that this rim would be 8 inches wide??

Zenetti 18 inch Chrome Teks
PCD 5 x 114.3, +40 offset

The offset is the distance between the mounting plate and the centre of the wheel. With wider
wheels, the offset needs to be increased (if positive) and decreased (if negative) to stop it
protruding the guard. I presume the Zenetti is an 8" wide one, which means you'll have lots of
rubber outside the guard. You'll probably need 48+ offset or more. maybe 50+.
In the attached image, the top one is the 8" wide with a 40+ offset. The centre is the blue line
and the mounting plate is the red line with 40+ offset and the right side is the outside.
The second one is the 6" wide wheel (standard) with a 46+ offset. Again, centre is the blue line
and red is the mounting plate line with 46+ offset. The outside face of the 40+ offset wheel will
sit 1.4" further out than the 46+ offset 6" wide wheel.

The third pic is for the 8" wide wheel with a 50+ offset. Its outside face will only be 1" further
out than the standard wheel.
