Will 18x9.5 on the rear fit?

Will 18x9.5 rims on the rear of my 93 Corolla fit w/ little to no rubbing. I don't have my car lowered and I have my fenders rolled.

There's a guy here in New Zealand who put 17x9 wheels on his Corolla, but he had to seriously pull the fenders to get it to fit. His was lowered however, but I'd say you'd really be pushing it with 18x9.5, even at the factory height, and especially with the factory camber. It all depends on what the offset of the wheels are too, and what size tires you plan on running. It would be more sensible to use a 7.5" wheel instead to save yourself any drama.

Here's some pics of the guy's Corolla I was talking about:

I rubbed when i had 17's, used to rub all the time at stock height. Those wheels arent made for compact cars like ours.

It looks ghetto now that his fender is chipped to crap and rusting away.

Hellaflush is too impractical for a daily driver.

that dosnt look good at all, the rims look cool but he failed by cutting the fenders and the tires dont look good on the rims eather as so much of the rim lip is expose. sky is the limit but if i wanted a staggered look i would eather go with a camber kit or customize a wide body kit to fit such wide rims....the most anyone should go without the 2 options i mentioned above would be 18x7.5 rims and a 205x35x18r or 215x35x18r tires with fenders rolled/flaired if your gonna carry passengers.
