My work meisters are 18x8, same offset, and are only millimeters from the suspension.
Nope - no issues. I'm running 18x8.5 +45 without any fitment problems (as are many forum members) and that is a wider wheel with a basically identical offset.

Hoanger's XT7s are much less concave since they are 17x7 et42. 18" XT7s look more concave for some reason, even given close sizes to 17". I have a bunch of 18x8.5 pics at home but unfortunately I'm in LA so I can't post them. These on the Works site are probably 18x8.5 et46, given that they're on a Suby:

I think 18x8.5 XT7s are 25+lbs. 18x7.5 are 24.5 lbs. Heck, the 17x8 are about 20-21 lbs. Part of the reason why I went with a different wheel.

Here's 18x8.5et46

You're not gonna get concavity with a 7, 7.5, 8 or even 8.5. You need a 9 at least. bump for a good deal!
