Since you wanted a real example:

Running 18" x 10.5" +73 offset in the rear with 285/30r18 tires. Fits great, had light rubbing on the fender lip (not rolled) with SO3 tires. Have no rubbing issues with FK-451 tires and the lips are still not rolled.

Sweet, thanks for all the responses. I have been looking for a reality check because the chart may say it will fit but real word doesn't always come out mathematically.

Thanks

275/40/17 should be ok for the street.

According to the stickied fitment guide, you should be fine with that setup:

For the rear:
8.0" wheel: +40 offset (225 or 235 tires)
8.5" wheel: +46 offset (235 or 245 tires)
9.0" wheel: +53 offset (235, 245, or 255 tires)
9.5" wheel: +59 offset (245, 255, or 265 tires)
10.0" wheel: +65 offset (265 or 275 tires)
10.5" wheel: +72 offset (275 or 285 tires)

I guess its not a "real life answer" though.

I would assume the fitment guided does not take into account a fender roll correct.

and using the 10+65 as a starting point in the calculator a 8+39 would only move the outer rim out .60mm and using a 255/35 section width 10.08 should work once the fender is rolled?

By the way the craziest think I have had on the car for a fitment check post fender roll and rear bumper modification (stock camber) 1.5 drop, bump stops unmodified was a 19x9.5+55 and had nor problems.
