10" wide...wide body???

wassup guys,
Ok ive got a set of Volk GT-V's: 18x9 +23 offset for the front and 18x10 +24 offset for the rear. I was wondering if/or how bad these will poke out. I'm wondering if ill need wide body fender flares or a wide body kit for these but im lookin to get some opinions about this and what i need to do or iff i need to do anyhting. Lookin for some positive feedback

-thanx guys

If you have an S13 you will have to do a bit of a Pull and roll the lip. it won't be too bad but have some paint ready because you will chip paint to make thoes wheels fit.

lol, get a heat gun and heat up the fender to help the paint. Honestly with that high of an offset they arent gona stick out a whole lot, get a pipe or bat and put it in the fenderwell against the tire and pull out as someone pushes the car and just apply force to make it even and pull as much as necessary. also did u just buy the wheels or what? cuz 18's are fargin huge on an s13, might wana sell and buy smaller, just a suggestion.
