Help: Does 17x9.5 fit???

Ok i am very interested in running the enkei nt03+m wheels in a 17x9.5 with a +38 offset. I was told by a very reputable source that they will hit the control arms and won't fit correctly, but then told by another guy that he is running them with no problems what so ever!

Please if anyone can help with any info id really appreciate it!

Thanks so much!

I have a few, but none of them are that great. The 17x9.5 +38 bolt-on, no problems with 255's and no rubbing.

I'm running them and so are many others on this site. Whoever told you they will hit the control arm smokes crack, I wouldn't take any other advice from him either.
My suspension is Megan c/o
Only pic I have:

I realize it is not the same wheel, although same manufacture and offset design.
