+35 offset on 18x8.5 wheels?

i know members have previously discussed the "correct" dimensions for tire size, width, and offset.

 

i have an awesome set of rims but the problem is the offset - its +35.

 

can someone please explain why +35 wont fit, or fit properly on the subbie gt?

what exactly happens when its on

 

i want to buy rubber but i dont want to waste money on rims and tires that wont fit bc i dindt do my hjomework

 

anybody with any insight please help a newbie out?

It will fit with lots of camber and stretched tires, if you are into that type of thing that is.

what do you mean when you say stretched tire and lots of camber?

 

where will i run into problems? with the outside of the rim rubbing against the fairing or on the inside on the rim rubbing against the underbody?

I just test fitted my 18x8.5 +35 offset ESR rims before I installed the 265/35/18 tires and there is mass amounts of room for the tires and even when I lowered the rims down on blocks to see how close it was to the oem spring perch I have plenty of room for the tires to fit just need to pull and roll the fenders a little bit

I installed my wheels after installing my Continental extreme contact sports 265/35/18 roll / 3/4" pull on rear quarters and same in front

 

Clearing all components not rubbing at any point

 

For more more room on outside of wheel well could go with a 245/35/18
