Isn't higher the ET, the less it will stick out, and vice versa?

Yup, the lower the et, the more it sticks out. Going lower than 32 will start sticking out past the fender. The higher the et, the further in it moves... so the 38 will be about 5 mm inwards away from the arch.

Wheel gap? Dude, that has a lift kit! Seriously, though, excellent choice of wheel! Now make sure you slam it!

The distance to the arch is around 33 or 32 on both models. I've test fit on both models to find out what it took to poke out past the arches.

What rims would these be? This thread seems to be dwindling. So, i'm adding a wee bit of kindling to the flames.

Here's a little chrome for ya!

I'm waiting to get the chrome accents delivered before I put them on (they shipped them with the gold accents by mistake).

Hopefully that'll be tomorrow??!?
