17x8 wheels 35mm offset front and rear

Is anyone running this size wheel and offset. I bought these wheels after bein told they would fit fine. I'm afraid after test fit that they are gonna stick out to much and look stupid. Anyone have pics please.

I have a customer than has run this size with 235/40R17. They come out past the fenders, but not poking too far. I'm sorry I don't have a picture

I have an 8" wheel with a +20 offset. Mine stick out a bit, but i think just the right amount.

Thanks I just didn't wanna go ahead and put tires on these new wheels and find out it looks stupid and be unable to return the wheels. I have stock suspension and have no plans of lowering due to these horrible ohio streets. I had just noticed in several other threads some people didn't like the 35 offset on the 17x8 wheel. I was gonna run 215-45 tires to hopefully get a more rounded look and feel up the wheel a little bit. Thanks for your input guys much appreciated

Well I'm gonna take the chance and mount the 215/45 dunlop direzza tires i just got on the 17x8 35mm offset ruff racing wheels I bought. I'm gonna try and mount them this weekend and post pics when I can. I see several other people asking if this set up works and how it looks. So here's hoping I just didn't waste a bunch of money on tires and wheels.

new wheels

They fit no rubbing at all probably be fine when lowered. After reading some posts I thought the 17x8 35mm offset wheels wouldn't wrk. But they look great no issues.

Looks good and about the right spacing. I hope the potholes here don't get those wheels, though!

So i realized when i first came in I read the title wrong. I had in my head you were asking aobut 16" rims and not 17" . Anyways, here is an updated pic from today after putting on 2054516 Falken Ziex Ze950s. Rims again are 8" wide +20 offset. Fitment is actually pretty good. I'd imagine you'd be able to get by with the same size in a 17" with minimal issues.

cfdfire40, those wheels look sharp. I thought they were Ultraleggra's at first glance. How much does each wheel weigh?
