2 of your #s don't quite make sense....

18" x 8" = diameter & width
35 = ?
5.88 = ?
5x120 = lugs & lug diameter

What is the 35 & 5.88 numbers referring to? If they are mm offset & backspacing....Why both sets of #s? I haven't crunched any #s yet & maybe that is what they are.....

5x120 seems like a BMW rim. Yes they will fit on our 5x120.7 cars. Many people on here have done with with no issues.
