I run a +40mm offest on my 8.5" wides and a 245 wide tire and my tire sits even with the fenderwell, a +35 will stick out a tad and may rub if you lower it. +38 to +45 is the best range imo.

yep, they sure do. the rear rub at full compression. and the front rub with the wheel half turned and hit the brake hard.

My issue was We ordered some wheels for my E and they decided to send us a+15 instead of a +40. Well for $hits and giggles I thought I would give it a shot since they were mounted and balanced. To say the least I was riding dirty, real dirty. I do not see it working out. The best part about it is the company sent the wrong offset because "that was all they had" in that style. nice huh?? :twisted:
