Default Work Meister 3piece offset questions

Hopupracing is selling the following wheels/offsets. Would 18 x 10 with 18 offset rub, if the car is not lowered. I don't want to lower my car. What are the thoughts on 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 10? Would they be flush? or tucked in?


Offsets:
18 x 8.5 5 114.3 24
18 x 9.5 5 114.3 29
18 x 10.0 5 114.3 18

Use one of the offset calculators above and compare the new wheels to your current ones. Then check the car with a tape to see if you will have any clearance problems.

So in the front, 9.5+29 could be a little close to the important mechanical bits that absorb the asphalt acne, so that may need a spacer, but the back sound OK. Lots run 10.5+22 in the rear, so your possible 10.0 +18 needs 1/2" LESS room on EITHER side given the same offset, but then is 4mm shifted negative (towards the outside)...lets see, 1/2" = 12.7mm, but we subtract 4mm to arrive at 8.7mm MORE room than a 10.5+22 ... Did I get it right? I really shouldn't do math @ 2:30am!!!

In other words, you shouldn't rub, lowered or not.
