Thanks! Pics will come eventually.
Hi there,

With a 18x8.5" ET38 front and a 18x9.5" ET35 rear, you could run up to a 12mm front spacer and a 5mm rear spacer while still having enough room to clear your fenders. However, every car can be slightly different fitment-wise, so I would recommend measuring from the top of each tire to the closest point on the outer fenders to get a good idea as to how much clearance you actually have. This will also be a good way to gauge where a 12mm front spacer or a 5mm rear spacer will push out your wheels/tires in correlation to your fenders.

If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out!
