I have an 18x8.5 with a 0 offset and they still stick out a good 1". In my opinion, it doesnt look too bad at all, but my state law says no no. As far as just looks though, 1" seems like the furthest I would go on it, unless I lifted it up and stuck some big old 38"s under there. A 9.5 sounds rather heavy for the VX and will surely cause handling changes in your ride. Without a lift, you will surely be doing some heavy trimming too, and I mean HEAVY.

Stock lift with Enkei 18x8.5s and Yokohama AVS 285x60s.



Good luck on your new shoe endeavor.
