    Obviously fitment is dictated by ride height and tire size but;

    rears will fit fine.
    fronts will require a 12-15mm spacer to clear the front housings.

        it will be aggressive but 8.5+18mm should not stick past the fenders. Ride height will be the main dictator of how much it will sit inside the fender.

                it will be sitting nicely. What tire sizes are you thinking about?

                            8.5J+18mm is the same as 9J+12mm which is a very common fitment.
