Will these fit?

I was wondering if these wheels would fit without any rolling of fenders and cutting tabs thanks for looking... (lowered about 3.25 in front and 3 in the rear)

Put simply, there is no way in hell those would fit without modification at your height. You'll rub all the time.

Of course what you said is true jjasha, but unless he wants to roll the fenders those won't fit if he's slammed. You can make plenty of different aggressive wheel setups work, but it'll take a bit of work.

The issue is the offset of the wheel (+35 in your case).

An 8" wheel with a +35 offset will require a bit of work to the fender and wheel well to get them to not rub. Yes running negative camber will help but be prepared to chew through tires often.

An "ideal" setup is 18x8 +50 offset running 235/40/18 tires.

Yes, if you don't want to have to roll the fenders, you will be ok with that setup.
