You'll look just like those 4x4s I saw all over the place in New Mexico.Pardon my asking, but what wheels are they? Maybe somebody makes a similar one.

8.5" is pretty wide to fit onto fwd cars, but if the offset is like a 57, then you will have the optimum setup...rubbing will occur just because it's so wide. i think a 45 offset on 8.5s is just enough to keep them flush, but a 35 offset is way too low.
why don't you have the place put the wheel on your car and see. i did something similar, tried on a 21x8.5 (45ish offset i think), but only did so to check the wheel style on the car (and not necessarily what is the widest rim i could fit)...
the outer rim lip was a little more than flush (er, sticks out) so you can imagine how much more it will stick out when a tire is mounted.

RIMS
HEY STANMAN-THOSE DRONELL'S LOOK SO SWEET!!! 21" WOW I WISH THEY WOULD ACTUALLY FIT 
BUT I KNOW THOSE RUN AT LEAST $6,000 W/ TIRES 
DAMN I CAN'T EVEN AFFORD 19" RIGHT NOW! ANYWAY YES 19x8 SHOULD BE THE BIGGEST PERIOD AND THAT'S WITH LIKE A +48-50 OFFSET!!! THEY MAKE A 225-35-19 TIRE NOW TOO THAT WOULD HELP IT NOT RUB AS WELL! IT LOOKS THIN AS HELL ON A 19x8 RIM THOU.
