Quick answer....

Yes you will rub, without some super neg camber, and bumper mod.

That is right. Without modification and narrow tires this will not fit.

How bad will it be? I really like the way these wheels look. I read the fitment guide and I see they are right on the border line by the numbers...actually a little bit past (18x8 front and 18x9 rear). Is there any feasible way to make it work? Any suggestions for a similar wheel?
Thanks

Remember, it is not the width that creates the rubbing as much as the offset. An 18x9+60 wheel will fit up front without rubbing, but the 18x8 +40 will. However, these could be fit with fender modification. See if you can find someone in your area to roll your fenders. Just remember

1) Tires will cost more in 18" sizes
2) These wheels are probably fairly heavy, so if performance is a goal then I would not get these.

What is your budget?
