it would be very flush to the fenders. Might even stick out a tad bit.

Welcome.

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

those calculators are a pain alot of the time.

also, a +12 you will need a bit of camber on to not stick out. also tire selection is important.

but as long as you have suspension parts to set everything up right you will be golden (that is height adjustment and camber/toe adjustment)
