Default Help with Offsets

i recently found a set of work vs-xx wheels that i want to buy in the following sizes:

18x8 +50
18x9 +56

i am currently lowered on tein s-techs. will these offests rub with my current setup? right now i am running 18x7.5 +47 all around with no rub. im just not familiar with how bigger offsets will work with wider wheels. id love to get these without having to roll my fenders or run negative camber but i am pretty doubtful that its possible. also what tire size would you recommend for the rear to suit this application. thank you in advance and sorry if this has been beaten to death already.

You can run a 255 with that offset with no problem.

Those are almost perfect offsets!

I'm guessing you're buying them from RB?

You should be careful because they buy cracked wheels to replace barrels and sell. Not to say they're not safe wheels to be driven on, but the only Work part you might be the face..

But I do get discounts there if you're interested contact me.
