7.0” to 8.0” wide wheel: 215 tires: +48 offset minimum
7.0” to 8.0” wide wheel: 225 tires: +53 offset minimum
7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel: 235 tires: +58 offset minimum
7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel: 245 tires: +63 offset minimum

For the rear:
7.5” to 8.5” wide wheel: 235 tires: +40 offset minimum
7.5” to 9.0” wide wheel: 245 tires: +45 offset minimum
8.0” to 9.5” wide wheel: 255 tires: +50 offset minimum
8.5” to 9.5” wide wheel: 265 tires: +55 offset minimum
9.0” to 10.0” wide wheel: 275 tires: +60 offset minimum

No, that wouldn't fit without work. Curious, what size tires would you use on those rear wheels?

It would need a lot of fender work to make those fit. The offsets are good but the wheels are just too wide.

With stretched tires, maybe...with proper tires...no.

Seems a little bit extreme in terms of widths. Why so wide?

Stretched tires would be going on, and I sit on Buddy Club n+ tucking all tires now.

People fit 9.5 with a 35 offset on the regular with 2-3 camber and rolled/tab relocation. This extends an extra 10mm. Which isn't HUGE. I'm thinking its highly possible my only regard is inner clearance.
