Default Like these wheels, what do i need?

18 ADR CLK SLK Audi A3 A4 A5 Chrysler Crossfire Wheels:eBay Motors (item 270480489139 end time Nov-11-09 20:50:32 PST)

Really digging these wheels, but don't know anything about offsets or spacers or anything like that. What would be necessary to run these wheels on my 05 xfire?

Do some homework, and learn what you don't know.....make em fit, even if they don't want too!!

here is somewhere to start.

Wheel / tire size calculator / comparer - RIMS-N-TIRES

Call them (or email) and ask if they can do a staggered setup and also ask if they have any other offsets available. 35 mm front and 22 rear. You'll need spacers to make up for that big difference in the rear.

There are a number of wheels that look similar those. Do an eBay Motors search for "wheels 5X112" and/or "Mercedes Fitment".

You'll get buried in choices, but that's how I started to look. After a day or two, you'll get very good at it!

Those 10 lug holes are typically seen on ricer Civics and Accords, go for it if you like the ricer look. Also our cars use hub centric wheels cheapo 10 holers are usually never hub centric.

that offset may be ok up front, but too aggressive in the rear.
