All else being equal, i.e. tire size and offset, adding 1/2" to your width is not likely to change wether you rub or not. You'd be adding a 1/4" to the inside and a 1/4" to the outside, but only at the lip, which isn't going to rub anything. It will slightly increase the footprint, but not enough to add more that a mm or two at the edge of the sidewall. So if you're not rubbing at 9.5" then you should be okay at 10".
Now, as far as will that setup rub-it's gonna be tire dependent imo. 275s, probably rub, wide 265s like Star Specs, probably rub too. A narrow 265 should be okay..

Will the CE28N TA 18x9.5 34* offset fit on an X MR with stock suspension running 265/35/18 Z1 Star Specs without using spacers?
I haven't seen any 34* CE28Ns yet...
Thanks!

The difference is that 18x9.5 +34 ce28n spokes are more flat and not as concave. Flat face = more caliper cleareance.
Pretend you're looking at a cross section of a rim. A flat face rim would look like a " T " where a concave face looks more like a " Y ". You can see how the wheel profile will effect brake caliper cleareance.
19x9.5 +22 ce28n spokes arent as concave as the 18x9.5 +22 which is why you guys running the 19's will have more cleareance than the picture posted above.
