Big brake clearance on 2011 XS coupe

Im looking at a set of rims that are 18x8.5/114.3 +38 and wondering if they will be fine with the big brakes on the 2011 XS coupe.
I tried the calculator and tbh i have no idea what i'm looking at. here's a snip of what im going from/to.
here is a link to the rims as well. https://www.kaltire.com/en/wheels/ap...=brand&start=1
I'd appreciate any help I can get.

thanks.

I'd be surprised if they clear the BBK, need to get confirmation from vendor, and if they are willing to fit these templates to confirm clearance that's a good plan.

Here's a list of 18s on tirerack.com that will clear your sport brakes, but again, make sure you verify clearance prior to ordering as mistakes can be made here

I'm going to drive over to Kal tire with the templates and see what they say,
They have the rim on the wall out of box so maybe they'd be willing to take off a wheel and test the rims fit.
From the info given on the calculator does it mean I would need a spacer thats greater then .110"?

That .11" is the difference in tire diameter of the two sizes you posted. Cool that you actually have the wheels to see in person, and hopefully they can fit the templates for you.
