Default quick rim question

I am planning on replacing my stock '01 wheels with 17X8 in the front and 17X8.5 in the rear. Both rims have +50 offset. When I went to an offset calculator, it told me that my fronts will be moved out by 24mm and the rears by 28mm.

My car is not lowered, will I need to roll the fenders, or will this just move the wheels out to the edge of the body. I am also concerned how much more the tires will extend out.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

You should be ok with stock height. If you lower you'll have to stay conservative with tire widths.

i wouldn't be too concerned, especially at stock height.

Those aren't ideal offsets for the car, but if you don't lower it you probably won't rub. The tires are going to stick out a little from the fenders, not a great look.

The 17X8.5 50mm offset will be very aggressive and will need a fender lip roll. The front with the 225/40R18 would be tight but should work.

thanks for all of your help. Will the tires/wheels be sticking outside of the fenders?
or will it just pull them closer to flush with the opening?
