18x8.5" 33mm Offsets

Will they fit? I managed to find a set of the Gram Lights I want, and Im ready to pull the trigger.

My plan was to run 255/35 tires on my 18x8s 48mm offset wheels that I have, but will the 18x8.5 33 offset cause the 255s to rub? Or will I be forced to stick with 235s?

my 255/35/18 on 18" x 8.0" with a 48mm offset are pretty much maxed out, any lower of an offset and they will rub. Here's an angle shot:

I was actually going to send you a message about those.

So a 43mm offset would still be pushing it? Ive rolled my fenders btw.

yeah, 43 would be pushing it. I also rolled my fenders a while back when I tried to squeeze on some 42mm offset 20" wheels on my car, I regret doing it, but it might still rub.
