Question Work Emitz : Will they clear BBK ???

Greetings fella's I'm in the process of purchasing some wheels for my 07' tl.
Work Emitz 18" front 18x9 rear 18x10 +26 offset.
I have no idea what offset I should be looking for (was never a wheel guy)
Will I need spacers maybe for the fronts ??....And will I need to roll the fenders ??
Thanks in advance you guys !
BTW: Heres a picture of the wheel, I plan on lowering my wdp a little more..and see how it'll turn out.
If anybody is bored and would like to maybe photoshop the wheels on a wdp. I'd appreciate it like heck !...thx again*

I think it's a hate it or love it sorta thing. I'm trying to visualize it at the moment, I think with a really agressive drop it would look pretty sick. But then again...I could be wrong lol. Thanks for the reply dude
PS. What tire size would you guys recommend. I want something pretty skinny, but not rubberband looking. I DO live in nyc

Sucks for me I wouldn't mind if it was right at the fender. But poking out further than that would probably make it look cheesy. Thanks for the input guys

if you ran 225 series tire and dropped no more than 1" you could run them but you'd look like an isuzu rodeo

I think I can go lower than 1"....I'd just have to stiffen up the suspension. my only concern is how far out the wheel will stick out =(
thx for your feedback

I wouldn't do it, its gonna be way out man, look for a different style on a 8.5 wheel anything past +35 should be avoided

FRONT
18x8 +45mm (OEM) vs 18x9 +26mm (Emitz)
Inner Clearance: 6mm MORE (the inside of the wheel to the strut housing)
Outer Position: EXTEND an extra 32mm (position of the outside edge of the wheel)

REAR
18x8 +45mm (OEM) vs 18x10 +26mm (Emitz)
Inner Clearance: 6mm LESS (the inside of the wheel to the strut housing)
Outer Position: EXTEND an extra 44mm (position of the outside edge of the wheel)

32 millimeter = 1.26 inches
44 millimeter = 1.73 inches

you're the f'n man !...so an extra 1.26 inches in the front & 1.73 in the back.
Time to whip out the string and ruler lol. But yeah...think it'll poke out a bit too much. Thanks for the help fellaz
Time to look at other alternatives
