it'll come out 9mm more than the 8 +48 so if you already have your fenders rolled.... it will fit and most likely not poke

All,
When purchasing rims for a car, there are several specifications to ensure a good 'fit' (ie no need to do any fender mods).
1) rim size
2) rim width
3) offset
4) bolt pattern
Rims range from 16" to 19" for our cars. Any smaller and they won't clear the OEM calipers. Any larger and you will have issues with 'rubbing'. I'm sure someone will say, "I got [XX] size to fit", but seriously -- look at their setup and most will not find that look very appealing.
Rim width and offset go hand-in-hand. Depending on your rim width, you have to watch the offset. The wider the rim, the higher the offset (so it doesn't rub up against the wheel well or plastic tabs of the fender when you hit a bump).
Our TL/TLS come with 6.5" rims with +55 offset, made my Enkei. General rule (but not always the case since there is some variation among manufacturers):
7" rim = +42 offset
7.5" rim = +45 offset
8" rim = +48 offset
> 8.5" rim ... forget it unless you wanna do some custom bodywork for it to fit.
This is only a guideline, not an end-all, be-all. Those who have done suspension work may have to find a higher offset than that posted to make sure their application will not have any problems.
Lastly, bolt pattern -- our cars have 5x114.3JJ bolt pattern. Luckily, many rim manufacturers make this bolt pattern but offset will be your limiting factor.

you are currently running a 18x9/8 +38. Your rims now is wider rear only .5 narrower front AND has a lower offset (the lower the offset number the more it sticks out. Stock is +55) If you dont have problems with your current setup you wont have issues with the new.
