sticking out

Yeah wheels are 18x9 and do stick out a lot more than stock. The aren't as far out as the apex of the wheel well so the body does stick out a little farther. I would recommend 18x8 or 8.5 to anyone. The car does need lowered but i already get a little wheel well rub when back up with the wheel fully turned. I am also afraid to screw up the suspension balance by lowering it. Any suggestions?
