Default Help!! 18X9's 35MM offset.. Tires??

I just purchased 4 18X9 rims with 35 MM offset. I do have 4 rather new tires dunlop sp900 in my garages. Here's the sizes.. 2 245/45/18, and 2 275/40/18.. Is there any possibilities for this to work on my SC 1997? Let me know.. much appreciated..

You should try posting this in the Wheel Forum

However, I think that the fronts being 9" wide and the tire being 245 may pose a problem. That leaves the tire almost 2" farther out than the factory 7.5" rim at 50mm offset. Try bolting up the rim with no tire and eyeball the clearance before wasting money mounting up those tires.

The ideal setup is a 8.5" rim with 38-50mm offset. a 9" rim with 35mm offset is pushing the outer rim a tad too far.
