Default Tire/Wheel Size Question

I am thinking of putting two of these, http://www.cjponyparts.com/american-...5-2011/p/W276/ on the rear of my 11 GT with Nitto N555 285/40-18's. The offset is 45mm. Will this combination stick out beyond the wheel wells? If so, what about the 275/40-18's?
Thanks.

These are cheeper and have 2 18X9 and 2 18x10 for about 1/2 the price of the site you posted.
The wheels ,for the front anyway, should have a 24mm offset. 45 will stick out.

I am thinking of putting NITTO Extreme Performance NT555 Tire - 255/45-18 and 9'' wide
with +30mm offset, has anyone put this size on or do they wish they had got a wider tire? maybe 275 wide?

A 9" wheel will easily fit a 275 wide tire. Wide is good, looks badass and you get better grip.
