Would i have any clearing/rubbing with Tein SS coilovers? What kind of spacers are best to give it the tires poking out of the sides look?

I don't think you'll have any issues with 18x8 wheels and a 38 offset. If you want to poke, and you can specify your offset, order a lower offset to move the wheel barrels outward. Alternately you can use spacers - the size will be determined by how far out you want to poke and how they sit as-is. Also, if you poke you are going to rub tires on fenders so make sure the coilover springs are stiff enough to minimize rub or you're going to ruin your fenders and tear up your tires.

I wouldn't plan on poking with only 8" wheels unless the offset starts like under 30..
