Can you post some pics of the whole car with that ungodly size tire on it? The pics from your link look pretty sweet, would like to see a good 3/4 view.

i'll do another thread with pics of the rims, but...
Those are 17x8 +45 offset with 235/40 S-03's...
I am not rubbing at all on the inner fender in the front or rear.
There's probably about 3-6 mm of space between the front strut and my tire when the wheel is turned to full lock. I'll get u a pic...

The rear is rubbing on the outer fender liner, just behind the lip.... actually it's barely touched the lip too....
So my guess is, going to a +35 offset would be TREMENDOUSLY aggressive, and would in my opinion be sticking out like one of those beaner frog mobiles....
But, I love seeing new boundries pushed. You never know till you try.
Sounds like you got them nearby. Why not mount them and see what happens?

Are the pics still up?
