I have 265/35-18's on 18X8.5 and a 38mm off set ALL the way around. NO PROBLEM! you dont mention the tire, but it is doable. people scoffed at my 245 40 18 on 7.5" wheels.. curb rash does not happen.. bonus. beers :beer:

you might be able to. depends on the tire, the sidewall and the talent of the installer.. but sometimes it is not the thing to do..

lots of autoxers stuff 275s on a 8 inch rim, but that has nothing to do with the street..
