Should I try to fit this?

Hi,

Everyone keeps saying that 18x8 over +45 will rub. However, I don't mind rolling my fenders and I have an Eastwood professional fender roller. I really like the ultra flush look, so I'm thinking of getting 18x8 +35 offset rims with 235/40 tires. The tires won't be stretched at all, but I still think that with a roll everything should be okay.

What do you guys think? Should I give it a try or is it an absolute no-go? It worked on my 240, the rims are 17x9 +20...


I'm just looking at the stock rims, the new rim will sit just over an inch more outwards and those rims don't come in any higher offsets. So what do you all think?

+35 will not fit. You're pushing the limits at +42, especially with an 8" wide wheel.

Sorry, I don't see them fitting. You will have to roll the fenders about half an inch out of the way to prevent any rubbing.
