Newb wheel question

just went to have one of my wheels balanced and it is dented and cant be balanced so its time for some new wheels!!

currently i have rota sub-zero 18x7.5 with 225/40/18 tires

i found a some axis super hiro's that i like but they come in 18x8.5. Will i have to roll the fenders? will they rub?

any input is appreciated!!

you'll probably have to mod the rear fenders, and maybe front depending on how low you are

consider tire size as well

ive always ran a 225 size tire and never rubbed, even on my old car ,which i dumped when i had coilovers.
