Front Width / Offset: 8" +35
Rear Width / Offset: 9" +40

im on 8.5 and 9.5 with 30 and 35 you should be fine with those offsets.

Hello 1Gis300,

I am not to sure how u want to run your set up; square to the road or with neg camber. I am http://my.is/forums/f89/using a formula from my.is and some info I gathered from there. Our front space from the brake hub to the outer limit of the fender (without mods) is 65mm and the rear space is 68mm. Having a drop does give you a bit more room but I am not to sure how much.
http://my.is/forums/f89/
To figure out if your wheels with fit:

take width and divide by 2
8/2 = 4

9/2 = 4.5

Multiply by 25.4 to convert to mm

4 * 25.4 = 101.6mm

4.5 * 25.4 = 114.3mm

Subtract your offset from those values if your within the maximums they should fit

101.6 - 35 = 66.6

114.3 - 40 = 74.3

66.6 > 65
74.3 > 68

So looks like your going to have to roll the fronts and roll and pull the rears quite a bit.
