Default gs430 18" wheel on 96es300...doable?

whatcha think? would a new gs430 18" wheel fit the 96 es300? Obviously going to have to get some fender work done. but ideas?
it would look something like this(its a bad chop but you get the idea)

I doubt it, I think it would rub on the inside.

hmmm. from what i read i thought those were 18x8's
the enkei's i run now are 18x7.5's. I was thinking of adding a wheel spacer and since i was rolling fenders anyways, ide be fine. hmmmm.

ask this guy what he had to do, I'm pretty sure these SC430 wheels are the same size/offset as 06 GS430 wheels(18x8 +45)
