I'm planning to run 18x9.5 +38. Will I rub?

If you're running those on a Ram 1500, then I doubt it.

On a 6, you'd be crazy.

Not at all !! As a matter of fact you could get wheel spacers as well.

thats way too wide. i've got 17x8 with +45 and they sit flush with 235s... according to the wheel offset calculator you'll have 10mm less clearance on the inside and you'll be sticking out 54mm more than stock.

You just need a full fender roll, you'd be fine.
