will they fit? or be to wide

i found some sweet wheels for a great price, but i wanna make sure they fit.
Currently im running 18x7.5 w/ 45 offset and the ones im looking at are 18x9 w/ 35 offset
the offset calculator says with this new setup i will lose 1mm clearence on the strut side and add 26mm to the outside which is about an inch.
but what throwing me off is i have baer brakes that push the wheel out more im just not sure how much more im also running tein basics and only have 5-6mm clearnce w/ the the +45 offset
i would go to a local shop and do a test fit but there arent any in my pos town, i would have to order online

well the lower the offset the more the wheel pushes away from the struts . when i had the 18x10s with 35mm offset i still had clearance, i bet the baers push it out about 5mm or so or less maybe. 18x9s with a 35smm offset is what i plan on runing. 18x10s was just to aggressive for a daly driver IMO.
