Default 305 /40/18s on a 2006 gt

i just bought cobra deep dish rims ,18 by9 ft/18 by 10 in rear with 305 /40/s on the rear offset is 42 . the tire has about 3 in clearance to top of fender , but sticks out about 1/2 in past fender (quater panel). im worried when the car squatts it could hit fender(quater panel) also none of the tire has wheel weights on them (balanced? should i be worried ?

i've never seen a wheel that didn't NEED wheel weight lets put it that way.

anyway the offset is way too much and you'll need to repaint the fender sooner or later, SN95 wheels have that trait to them where they stick out too much and all.
