An 8.5" wheel with a +35mm offset only sticks 2.7mm further into the wheelwell than a 7.5" wheel with a +45 offset. Thats like 1/8th inch. You will be fine.

PS why the heck do they do wheel dimensions in inches but offset in millimeters. That's retarded.

stock wheel offset?

What is the normal wheel offset (from the factory) on the car? I bought wheels with a 42mm offset and want to make sure that they wont cause any unnecessary inner or outer tire wear. I read in some other thread that if the offset is a lot different than factory, a normal alignment will cause tire wear on the inner/outer edge and right now, my alignment is great, but i have regular 15" gxe wheels on my SE.
