You'll have huge problems with -8 in the rear, that will be almost two inches outside the body.

Fronts will be sunken and rears will be crazy flush.

You'll have some issues with the rears, some work will have to be done. I'd suspect some pull, depending on tire choice. Your rear will stick out roughly an inch more than the 18 x 10.5 et 25 in the attached image, with respect to the same height of course.

How did you end up with such horrid offset sizes?
