The offset is wrong, there is nothing you can do about it unless you go for flared arches.

I would take the rim off and just double check the off set
they should fit in fine as there is other members running 18x8's with a 35et and not having a problem
have you got a side on pic of the car

The offset is et40. I rang your man whom i bought the wheels from and told them about it. He had it collected yesterday and will be replacing them with the proper ones:) I hope they'll get it right this time. Thanks everyone!!!
