Wheel Offset +38

Can anyone with +38 offset wheels please post some pics. I want to see how much these wheels with this spec will stick out. Thanks!!

I have choice of running either 18x7.5 or 18x8. Again, an offset of +38. Will going with the 18x7.5 be a safer bet? What does everyone think?

Thanks A LOT JTso!! Which tire size would you recommend, 215 or 225, and 40, 45, or 50 profile? Keep in mind, I have the a-spec drop and hope to maintain the same wheel gap. I don't want to go too low profile and have a bigger wheel gap. Thanks again!!

Sorry, I forgot to mention another question. Will an offset of +38 with the a-spec drop jeopardize possible rubbing? Does offset affect anything else besides how deep or shallow the wheel sits in the wheel well? Thanks!!

225/40/18 is close to stock sizing but 235/40/18 is perfect

An inch past the fender is enough to bother me. Anyone with +38 got pics or can offer some insight?
