Wheel size: 18x7.5
Bolt Pattern: 5x114.3
Center bore: 67.1mm
Lug Size: M12 x 1.5
My steel winter wheel/tires from my 2011 elantra fit so, I'd hazard a guess it has been carried over from the MD generation. Fairly standard setup.

Does anyone know the stock wheel offsets? (for the 18x7.5 wheels)
Offset on the stock 18x7.5 wheels is 55

I'm assuming for a nice flush look we need something around 45-50 offset.

Heavy. Haha sorry I have no clue, but Goibg to a decent aftermarket wheel will save a few pounds.

26lb according to Shark Racing. The stock Ventus S1 noble2's are 22lb, so **** near 50lb a corner..

So definite opportunity to save some rolling weight, but I like the look of the stock rims.

Hey Tyson, I'm trying to get Michelin PS4S's for our car but they only come in 245/40 for 18" wheels. I like the ride comfort of the 18's, do you know if 8.5" wheels will be too wide for our cars? Ideally I'll just pick up a pair of 18x8.5's and use them with the PS4S's for summer and toss on the stock ones for winter until they wear down, then get winter tires. If 8.5" isn't too wide for the car, any idea what offset I'd want?

I ran 18x8.5 on my car with +35 offset, it fit but stuck out about half an inch. It would look better if the car were lowered though. If you go with +45 offset, you'll be fine. Use the fitment calculator (Online Wheel and Tyre Fitment Calculator. Offset, Tyre Stretch and Speedo Error | Will They Fit) to get it flush with the fenders. Running 8.5" with 245 tires should not be a problem at all.

It looks like with a 45 offset it still sticks out. Think there would be room inside?

Keeping the offset the same balances the extra width better it seems

Right now I am running 18x9.5 +38 all around with stock 225/40 tires. I measured the space from inner rims to shocks, front has about 10mm left, rear about 15mm. According to the wheel calculator my new setup says it sits 8.4mm closer to shock than stock wheels. Your proposed setup says 12.7, so that definitely will fit fine. But i recommend running +50 offset, not 55. You'll have a better look on the outside. Stock wheels are sunken into the car about 20mm front and back. Your wheels will be 12.7mm out, so you'll be barely flush with the fender. If that's what you want, then you're good. But with +50 offset you'll be able to run wider tire such as 245 not worrying about the inner clearances much.

I think I have settled on Enkei RPF1 17x8 +45 with 245/40R17 Hankook RS4's for my occasional street/track setup. I'd like to go with a wider wheel but they don't make anything with a higher offset than 45.

I weighed all 4 wheels as I put them in storage. 49.6, 48.7, 48.5, 48.7. Wheels only had 600 miles on them. The 49.6 was a front and I had just driven so perhaps it had a higher pressure which added weight?

Air won't add weight.
I'll be adding to this on Monday when I weigh a stock wheel without tire.

Just weighed a stock wheel: 25.8 lbs
On a very accurate calibrated scale.

Ouch, that's terrible, but there is a ton of spokes.
