Appreciate you taking the time to post the links in any case!

Car has stock suspension too, forgot to mention that earlier.
I originally started off with 08/09 posts until I re-read that you had an 2012 so ignore the old links (they have been edited out anyway)!

I have 17x9 +45 on my car with firmer than oem suspension and I've managed to rub the rears (not rolled) on a couple of occasions (5 people in the car with a boot full of stuff).
I would say that knowing how much movement you have in the oem suspension and the offset of those rims, that you may rub a fair bit.

Best bet would be to find something that sticks just inside the guards and won't make contact with them.
I would hazard a guess that 18x8.5 +44 would do this on the wide body models.

I'm sure that there are a couple of people on this forum that have 18x8.5 +44 on the wide body models, hopefully they can chime in with their experiences!
