Those are sick bro! Nice pick up! Nah, they won't stick out more probably sit in a bit
when it's lowered. If you want more poke get some
spacers. I would get 15 or
10mm up front and maybe like 15/20mm for the rears.

I had 18x8 +38 once, fronts were sunken in a bit but you will need to roll either way all of your fenders.
