I had the same wheels (521). But I had the 18x8 +30 & 18x10 +25. I just changed the wheels cuz the rear rubbed and the rear rim actually hit pretty bad on a dip and when I would try to go in a drive way at an angle the rear rim would hit the fender and the wheel would lock up making it ialmost impossible to go up drive ways. I think you're gonna need a fender roll & slight pull if you want to ride comfy ably on those wheels.
But if you get it right, I think I looks sweet & you're gonna love the set up!! I used to get compliment about the wheels all the time.

My rear doesn't have any problem. Just front I'm having issue with. The tire is touching the finder. I was thinking about getting smaller just to clear it better. But most likely I'm getting the front pulled and rolled for sure if I'm gonna rock these. Running on the latest k sport suspension set up. I adjust it to max where the ride is super stiff. In the near future i wanna go lower where the tires are tucked in all the way.
