18x9.5 +38 on OEM struts and STi springs?

I've been browsing around for wheels for the Foz, and I have stumbled across a set of 18x9.5 +38 Rota Grid in Titanium chrome that I have fallen in love with. The car currently is sitting on the OEM foz struts, with 2007 STi springs. I don't plan on lowering it any more than this, since it's my DD and the roads here are ****. My main concern is if these will clear the strut housing without rubbing, and will clear a 245/45/18 tire on the outside without rolling the fenders.



Current height for reference on stock wheels and stock 215/60/16 tires

I'm quite aware. I'm planning in the future on replacing them with something more ride height friendly (coilovers). At the current moment, the struts are almost worn out, and I got the springs for free. When they finally blow, they will get replaced.
