Its all bout offset not width if your just looking for them to be flush with the fenders. If you search you will find all of your answers.

I'm going to Muellerize my suspension and I'm considering the following wheel setups: Buddy Club P1 Racing QF 18"x10" +35 offset or TE37 18"x9.5" +22 offset. I don't think a +12 offset for the Buddy Club or +15 offset for the Volks will work

I have been running 18x10 +32 rims with 10mm front spacers for 2 years now. Stock fenders. . . ( just rolled)

The BC in +15 will not work with stock fenders. According to BC Japan the US and AU website is wrong, the P1QF does NOT come in an 18x10 +35. I tried to order them this spring.

If you DO find them anywhere please let me know. . .

BTW, it will all depend on what size tire you are running. . .

I'm wondering if there is any way to run a 295 30 18 on a 18x10.5 with really worked stock front fenders. Has anyone cut their front fenders or added flares? There are wider fenders available in the aftermarket, but they are $$$$ if you can get to the same place (functionally) without them.

285/30/18 is the "big standard" for most AutoX Evos in SM class. I am pretty sure they are allowed to go bigger than that, and would if they could. So I think you would have a really hard time functionally running 295/30/18. I also believe there are more/better tire options in that size as well.
