18X9 wheels?

will I have any problems running 18X9 wheels with +38mm offset on a 5th gen? I have these 18X8 HP Lightnings right now and was thinking of going 18X9 all around. Any rubbing or fitment problems? Will I be ok? Anyone here running 18X9 wheels all around on their 5th gen?

u can always get spacers if it will rub. Some one here has 9.5 in the back and he is running 275s and he mentioned that when he had 5 people in the car it rubs some times, so if you go with 9’s and 265 I think you shouldn’t have any problems http://www.freshalloy.com/site/cars/...001/home.shtml he had 265's in the back

sorry its a little off topic, but do your tires rub?? and are you lowered?

as far as 18x9 in the front i think if you get low profile tires you should be fine. and for sticking out, it all depends on the offset you get...
