Yeah it is slightly more et which means sticking out the arches which I don't mind as its stretched tyres :)  it's more does it hit the suspension or to change camber on rear am worried about

Rears would fit.
Fronts would not unless you roll your arches and have camber top mounts fitted.

On an 18x8 the lowest ET you can really go at the front without lots of work is around 38.

Oh rite I see so going by what u say if the offset is as Low as that it will push wheels away to hit the arch not go under it?

Yeah I had et41 before and sat nice on arches :) I could maybe get it grinded back to et 44 or something like that but will cost money
:(

Does it cost much to roll arches never had it done before
