Kerstein, the 18x8.5" ET38 and 18x9.5" ET22 will indeed work with your car with the KW V3's without the need of switching to a linear race spring or camber plates, as it would be compatible with the OEM alignment specifications. However, the 18x8.5" ET38 is a flat faced wheel, so you'd have a staggered look with a concave rear wheel. The street tire sizes that we usually recommend are 235/40/18 and 265/35/18. Some people have gotten away with 245/35/18 and 275/35/18 street tire sizes, but extreme performance summer tires, such as Hankook RS3's and Dunlop Direzza Star Specs, would require a fender roll in the rear to avoid rubbing, and some added negative camber in the front depending on your ride height.
