It's not just the size of the wheel that matters. It's all in the offset...and those wheels are not 1 series offsets

Indeed, but I'm almost sure the 18-8's and 18-9's (167-220)will fit without modifications.

That's what the supplier says aout this :

"On ne trouvera jamais sur le marché une jante réplique ayant exactement le même déport qu'une jante d'origine, car il s'agit alors de contrefaçon.
Les fabricants proposent de ce fait toujours des répliques ayant un déport légèrement inférieur à celui des jantes d'origine, ce qui a pour effet de faire "sortir" un peu plus la jante, tout en restant dans des montages sans interférences."

Translated :
You will never find replica rims on the market with exactly the same offset for the sake of the counterfeit law. Therefore the producers of these replicas always offer an offset slightly inferior in comparison with the originals.
This less offset of course makes your rims stick out farther however without other adjustments.
