A lot depends on tires size, but you should probably be fine.

I am LOW on coilovers and I run 18x8.5 +35

will depend on offset. but you shouldnt have any problems at +20 or higher on a x8 as long as you dont go too wide on tires.

I ran 17x9.5 on my car for a long time and almost never rubbed.

i had sort of the same question. i'm running 18x7.5 on 225/40 right now on Tein S-Tech springs. the front rubs on the inner fender liner when i come off a drop or something. the back never rubs. but i'm wanted to change wheels and was wondering if i would need to do any modifications to make them fit.

i have my eyes on some 17x9 +25 all the way around. any input someone may have on how these would fit would help. what size tire should i run?
