I think that would really depend on the offset as well.
I am running 18x8.5 (front and rear) with 35mm offset and am pretty much flush with the fender. Rubber is 245/40/18 and next to know room to spare inside the well (on hard turns).
Wheel fitment is a tough one to give advice on because of the different variables involved (size of rim, size of rubber, offset, shape of spokes, etc). If you get the chance to test fit these wheels, that would be best.
Provided the wheels you are talking about, clear the caliper and the offset doesn't push the wheel too far out, then yes, they should work fine (of course then you could always consider a wide body kit
) .
