Default no problem. I would still do some research, though. too bad the search function is down.

but, common sense tells me you'd be fine.

I'd be more worried about your 8.5", +35mm wheels not clearing -- but, if those are fine... then I don't see how the x8, +45 setup would be an issue.

im just not too familiar with offsets on wheels do you? i believe the guy said the inner lip of the rim might hit the coil springs.

Your opinions tend to be wrong... you should work on that.

Default If you're running a 8.5 with ET 35 today and go to a 8 with ET 45, you'll decrease your inside

clearance by 4mm. Look to see how much room you have to the inside of the wheel/tire to the shock/spring right now.

Check the calculator.<ul><li><a href="http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp">http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp</a</li></ul>

Default You'll also note on the calculator that you've moved the outside of the wheel in 16mm

so if you want it to look the same with the wheel to the outside close to flush with the fender, you'll want 15mm spacers.
