ET42-45 is problem free on a 19x8J wheel.

I don't think ET35 will be, but I'm not sure.

I'm running 8.5x18 et35 with 215/40 - I'm pretty damn low (that's a technical term!) and I'm running stock arches (other than removing the front splash guard bolt) don't see why the extra 1/2 inch would make it any worse - however you'd have to put a but of camber on the back, or just don't run it too low.





Sometimes just touches, but only just.
