No, and... No, and BTW, wheel spacers will decrease your offset. (Factory is +55 and +65)

they fit, but fender rolling is required for maximum clearance. that front is equivalent to the the sw388 that clears the spoon caliper and the rear is 10mm out fron the sw388 rear.

You can get them on. But you will have to cut your rear fender tabs, roll all your fenders, and run additional negative camber to avoid rubbing.

the 50+ offset gets you into the safer range.

38mm is not great but its aggressive lol.

You should have someplace that does alignments do it, it is part of the alignment procedure. Not user adjustable unless you really know what you are doing.
