The fitment thread here on RCC is concise and foolproof http://rotarycarclub.com/rotary_foru...ead.php?t=1828. The first post states "I've been told that +30 on a 8 inch rim works perfectly." but the wheels I have my heart set on are 18x8" and appear to only come in a few offsets, with 35 being one of them.

My question is: Will that extra 5mm cause fitment issues specifically with my non-coilover suspension?
It's the non coilover suspension that might bite you in the ass. My rims are 17*8 and 17*9, both + 35 and I have no issues.
Run 245/40/17 up front and 255/40/17 rear. I could go larger on both ends and plan on it

Lose, lose.
Neg, I run 18's on the enkeis with the hoosiers. I can't quite remember the sizes... lemme see if I can find them. They're fucking huge though. Like 275/30/18 & 245/30/18
The actual sizes of the hoosiers don't translate well to street tires. the 245 R6 is significantly wider than the 245 Toyo's

Actually.... lemme see if I can dig up the receipt.
