Those are going to rub in the rear, you'll need to roll the fender but even then a 9" wide rim is fairly large. I reccomend an 8.5, Also i live in Boca and have a nice selection of slighty used tires in my garage so if you need some let me know and i can mount and balance them too!

ET38 18x9 will be a fairly large problem, as jiggerjosh states. I had to do some pretty agressive rolling, particularly where the fender meets the rear bumper, to keep them from deeply gouging the tires (not just rubbing). I'm running 17x9s with a 41 offset on all 4 corners.
