Yes, but it is not "balanced". The rear is just about as aggressive as you can get without any fender mods. The front is more conservative.

The front wheels will be very "inset." I see that the common offsets for 8.5" and 9.5" are 35mm all around. So with a 8" wide front wheel, you wheels will be inset by .5" and also the offset would be 8mm more conservative.

I hope V8 Aristo doesn't mind me using his pic.

You can see that the rear is 9.5" wide with 35mm offset which is right about as far as you want the wheel to stick out w/o fender mods. He was running 8.5" 35mm in the front and it looks to be about even with the rear. You can see why if you run a 8" wide wheel with a 43mm offset, it wouldn't match up nicely visually. The wheels will fit and work without problems but like Neo said, "It wouldn't be balanced."

Like sleeper said, visually, the front will be more inset in the wheel well than the rear.
Here is a good read for some specs:
