Default Offset and tire question

I tried searching the forums however I wasn't able to find a positive answer so heres my question. I am looking at some used Work S1's and the sizes are 18x8.5 +33 and 18x9.5 +38. With these wheels and tires sizes 245/40/18 and 265/35/18, will I rub the fenders if its slammed or close to slammed?

With those offsets you might not have much to worry about but I would definitely watch the rears with those 265s. Heres the way I see it..if you plan on buying aftermarket wheels then plan on having the fenders rolled no matter what offset or tire size you run. It looks cleaner and saves you a headache in the long run.

should fit just fine. i use to have a 18x9.5+20 and a 255/35 with only a 1" drop and it needed a very mild roll.

with a slammed car and less offset you should be fine.

just for reference:

18x9.5+35 on a 255/35/18 rears

You should be totally fine. Go give them a test fit.
