Default Wheel Fitment Question

I read the tremendously helpful postings on this topic, taught myself all about offsets etc. Thanks to all who took the time to post that stuff.

But I still have a question (2006 AP2):

I have found some 18x8 +45 front and 18x9 +43 rears, they would appear to be marginally outside the recommended range, but perhaps someone has succesfully installed similar?

According to the tool the fronts decrease suspension clearance by 3mm and move the outside edge out by 23mm

On the rear they increase suspension clearance by 16mm and move the outside edge out by 28mm

Will I rub?

Stock height.

The wheels have no tires so I could do maybe stay at the same width as stock if that helps (and would be okay on the rim width).

Nobody used this size? Guess that speaks for itself.

Far from ideal. The rears will stick out and the all four corners may rub.

The rear is especially bad. I don't think you could do anything to make the size not rub.
