Im wanting to buy some wheels that are 18x8.5 with a +30 offset and 235/40s in the front and 18x9.5 with a +38 offset and 265/35s in the rear.

Will they fit without rolling the fender wells? Will they fit with rolled fender wells? Somebody please help.

I doubt they will clear the edges. But I would be more worried about the wheels hitting the inner suspension.

We just tried to put R33 GTR wheels on an S13 yesterday, 17x9 +30's and the fronts hit the coilovers. The rears were ok. All the fenders needed to be rolled.

the guys at rbmotoring in cali are telling me that the +30 18x8.5" in front will clear the coil overs and even stock springs. This is on an s14. I dont know if I should buy them or not, I put a deposit down so they would hold them for me. There advans and Id really like to have them. What do you think? Do you think that the .5 difference will make it clear?

Dont know, I am not primarily a wheel guy. S14 might have an easier time clearing. Since your wheel is an inch bigger it will make you clear a little more, but the offset will put it close.
