They could fit. it will look pretty f***ing angry!

On my car I have +12 17x9 up front and +15 18x10.5 back. I had to run about -3.5 degrees of camber to have the barrel be just seen when looking down on the front guard. And -4.5 at the back. I've since flared my guards out about 25mm so I'm now at -2.5 camber front and -3.5 back and I am pretty happy now. The barrel of the rim just sits out of the guard but not noticeable unless you are looking for it.

I also had to stretch my tyres. I'm on a 205/40/17 and 235/40/18, federal 595's.

Rears would be fine IMO, wouldn't be so hard to fit but you will need to run serious camber but +38 is pretty big but might be ok.

Overall, the biggest issue fitting them that i would say... would have be the coil over clearance and you will have to roll and probably pull your guards so it doesn't foul anything, other issue is Johnny Law. But I've seen some obscenely poked out rims on crappy cars so you might be ok.

So possibly, roll/pull guards, make sure you have coil overs, stretch tyres and camber, and you might be alright.

Hope this helps

i think it'll be a bit too aggressive. My fronts are 18x8.5+32 and i'm already got a 215/35 stretched onto it. you're going to have more problems with a 9".

Lowered 91 Sw20 gt
planning on buying a set of Work xd9 rims the sizes are
18x9 +20 fronts
18x10+38 rears

Not too sure if they will fit, if not is it just a case of rolling the gaurds. etc

Thanks
