What are you trying to determine? At one point, I had the L-Tuned shocks and springs with L-Tuned OZ Salinas rims. They were 18x8f and 18.9.5r, +45 offset all around. Tires were 235/40f and 265/35r.

Sure, the more data points the better. To compare, to the L-Tuned I had, your wheels would be more agressive in the fronts by 10mm. I have 20x8.5 +43 now. This is like x8 with +37 so it is not far from yours. rominl is running x8.5 +32 so it is ike x8 +26. You are well within the range. I have some rubbing but it has more to do with the extra 1" in wheel diameter.

As for the rear, the L-tuned (x9.5 +45) would be like x8 +27. As you can see, the rears will be no problem.

These calculations are approximate but it should give you an idea.
