I have had members use 17X8.5 wheels with a 55 mm offset rub. Without the possibility of a fender lip roll or some negative camber I have to believe the 9" wheel with 35mm offset is going to have some issues.

yea i thought some fender rolling might be needed and do you think it will need alot of negative camber or just a little

how low are you planning to go? a minor fender roll will be okay, dont have it rolled to much because it will cause the top of panel to buckle and there will be a dent.. i was running bbs rs 17x9 +25, it was fine
