Default anyone running 18x9+ rims?

im planning to run 18 x 9.5 with either a +38 or a +43 offset.
im also plannin to use either a 245/40/18 or 275/35/18 tires.

think this will fit? or should i just go with 18x8.5 with 245/40/18 tires?

thanks guys.

The offset is critical! If you are going to use a 245 in the rear, you should have an offset of around 50 or more, or you may encounter a rubbing problem (assuming stock alignment.)
