Will these rims fit??

I found a set of 18x8.5 and 18x10 with 25mm offset.
I havent seen anyone going with 10 inch rears but the price is good so i thought I might try it out.

My 5 is lowered on Megan springs.

What are you trying to acheive by running such a wide wheel? You'll certainly loose acceleration, steering response, and fuel efficiency. Plus, you'd probably have to cut the fenders quite a bit to prevent rubbing. Rolling and pulling the fenders would probably not be enough, especially with those springs.

Nothing actually. I was just wondering because they are being sold pretty cheap. Im not really trying to find a set so wide but if they worked i would have gotten them.

A 10" wide wheel with a 25mm offset is going to stick out like crazy and look like s***.

Word, stock 7" is et53 so although the offset will end up to be close, I've tried a 9" is the biggest you can tuck even stretching your tires.

I am running 19x8 35et front and 19x9.5 40et rear on my 2010. I wanted to go wider in the rear as well, but it is gonna require me getting adjustable rear camber arms to tuck that rear without rubbing. Currently my rear fenders are rolled and they clear with no issues, even with the family in the car loaded down. I say go for it.

The stanced look is quite popular now and has a huge following. The performance group has their following. My 5 is going stanced, my MK2 Jetta is going completely gutted and caged. Regardless of what others say, if you want to stretch that tire go for it. I'm going wider, with coilovers, and camber arms to get a more stanced look. I've talked to some of the Mazda 3 guys and they are excited to hear the plans.
