it depends on the offset of the wheel. IMO would not go wider than 8 with less then 45 offset.

Have you decided what size tire you wanted to go with? This should be the first thing you choose before selecting the wheel size.

I have 18 x 8.5 rims (+55 offset) with 235/40/18 tires. There's no rubbing, but the car's not lowered. Hope this helps.

It all depends on the offset. +55 on a 8.5" wheel may actually be too much positive offset. I would say +49 would do you well. BTW why are you going with 8.5"?
