Getting the 18x9.5 +35 wheels on

I had to swap from the ESR 18x9.5 +35’s to JNC 18x9 +30’s because that extra ½ inch was a problem. I ordered 2 1 ½ inch custom wheel adapters 4x100 to 5x120. If the adapters work and there isnt any issues turning or any rubbing then I’ll order the final two that I will need for the rear wheels. The suggested wheel width for my car is 7 ½ to make the outside flush with the fender. With my adapter size and wheel offset I expect to have the wheels sticking out by about 3 inches. If all goes well, the next step will be fabricating a custom wide body kit out of steel sheet metal. FYI: the tires are brand new 215/35R18’s
