5th gen question for the locals

Can 18X9.5 fit in the back of the 5th gen with K-sport coilovers and is set a little lower than S-techs, or for that matter can 18X9.5 even fit the back of a 5th gen?

im looking at these staggered

Since you feel that way, I will move this to the forum where you should have posted it in the first place (Not the DC forum, where sarcastic answers and flaming are de jure).

18x9.5 35 will work fine. I run 18x9.5 38 offset and 265 tires in the back, never rubbed except over massive bumps, i am dropped on D2 coilovers (significant drop, 1 finger gap)
