yes. you will need some serious camber, stretched tires and fender work.

Before rolling my fenders I was constantly rubbing on my 18x7.5 +45 Kosei K1s. I had a 225 tire on that setup and people couldn't bear to ride with me because of the scraping.

Buy wheels that fit your car and don't change up your car to accommodate some wheels you want.

I have 18x8 +35 with 235/40, rolled fenders and I rub. I'm putting my camber kit on this summer to fix it. You'll stick out another 1.5" from mine.

Tires makes a difference, so does camber setting, how lowered car is, corner weights, spring stiffness, dampening settings, etc. You need to look at whole package.

I run 18x9 +35 in front with 255/35/18 tires and -2 camber, but would not recommend it to anyone else. My setup is nothing like other CL's though.

With what you are looking at you would need to roll and pull fenders or get fender flares, run Massive camber, cut up or remove fender liners, and run severly stretched tires. Almost forgot relocating rear bumper tabs also.

Really wish this fad would die out. Looks stupid, ruins suspension geometry and handling and wears tires bad.
