Would these wheels have too much offset?

I'm looking at these wheels, and was wondering if the offset is too low to work on the Kappa?

18x8 with a 38-offset running stock 245/45/18 tires.

Would the wheels stick out too far?

Will there be any fender rubbing issues with a 38mm offset?

Probably not, if you aren't lowered. -J

I run a set of 16x7's with a 38mm offset in the winter tim with no issues at all. Overall tire and rim diameter with 16's is the same as the factory 18 " rim and tire

Which rims are those? Where did you find them? I might look into that. He is talking about going in 'prepared' next season. -J
