Should have been more specific on the rubbing...more so on driver side but rubbing on front fender when turning, on top of wheel well when going over speed bumps, etc. Minor rubbing but contact nonetheless. I dont know if I mentioned that I bought my car like this, but the guy before me has H&R lowering springs on it, which makes the car sit too low. I am ordering some adjustable coilovers and should help the problem. From what I can see from your pics, you will be fine on that front. The rear knuckle clears by a an inch or two, hard to say exactly, but I can take a look and get some pics on here this weekend if that would help.

I mean two inches was probably overstating it haha, but I would say at least an inch of clearance...definitely more than 5mm. But ya I can probably take some pics on Sunday and get them on here for ya.

All I know is that I run 18x8.5 (et 32) without a spacer and 235 tires and when viewed from above, the wheel sticks out a good half inch. Looks agressive already (the stock are only 7.5). On stock suspension with non-rolled fenders and I get little rubbing around good corners if there is any unevenness or bumps so I'm sure you would rub going that wide, especially if lowered. Also, something I didn't realize until after I started running them, is that I spatter road gunk all over my sides anytime I'm in less than dry weather. So I'm sure a 9.5 would be interesting.

Thanks but i kind of lost hope in this thread and stopped checking it. I did some measuring myself with a friend and also matched up a front R8 wheel (similar size with same tire size) to get an idea of what im working with.
I'll make it work somehow. I ordered one wheel and I will be test fitting this weekend or next week. Stay tuned.
quick shot with the R8 wheel on the rear
