yep, but they're just gonna stick out a bit, the rims i'll be gettin in the future (Velox) are +38 offset!! depned how low you're dropped, u might rub a bit, unless u go to a body shop and have those fenders rolled or tucked!!

you'll be alright

18x8 +38 are gonna rub the rear fender if you're dropped. check w/ DANJ since i think he has a different wheel in that exact size and offset. the correct tire btw would b 225/40zr18.

Those rims will fit if you are not dropped in the rear, but if you drop the rear, there is a real good chance of rubbing.

I have 18x7.5" rims with a +42 offset and I'm dropped 1.8" in the rear. With a camber kit in the rear, I rub on occaision, but without a camber kit I won't rub.

If you aren't dropped in the rear and don't plan on it, you shouldn't have to roll the fenders at all. Otherwise, if you drop the rear, rolling the fenders should do the trick. I remember someone with rims a while back with the same offset who rolled the fenders and had no rubbing. I'm not sure how much they were dropped though. If you only drop the rear like 1 inch, you may get away with not having to roll the fenders. I'm mostly speaking from what others have said who have a similar setup to yours. If you go by my experience, I look at the fact that the rims you want stick out only 4mm more than mine which, is rather small. I only rub on occasion with a camber kit and my fenders are not rolled. Plus, I barely rub. The middle of the sidewall catches the inner fender lip. Without the camber kit, the top of the rim points slightly inward and does not rub at all. I hope this helps you out instead of confusing you more.
