Default front wheel rubbing?

i found some rims that i really want for a good price both front and rear are 18x8 with a +45 offset. i know the rears will fit but i think i may have problems with the front. do you guys think it will be ok or go find new rims. im ok with rolling the front fenders if i have to.

Out back you should be fine with those wheels.

I run 18x8 +45's up front and I'm pretty low(2.5" lower than stock) and I'm using 225/40/18's. I had to roll the front fenders and it occasionally rubs the fender liner plastic on large bumps but nothing that really bothers me. Depending on your ride height you may not rub at all without modifying anything.

For reference:


18x8 +45 225/40/18 up front.

Plus certain tires are narrower than others. You can also try a little more negative camber.
