I'm gonna go with not a chance. Unless you do some serious fender work.

^ What he said. The 18x8 +35 is pushing it, the 18x9 +17 is going to poke/rub like crazy.

I have 215/35/18 on 7.5" wheels and they're stretched to fit (wheels protrude well past the tire) and the fronts rub using TRD suspension. I can't imagine those tires fitting wider wheels. And wider rubber would definitely hammer the wheel well lips hard. I'd suggest 7" wheels would best suit that size rubber if for no other reason than to protect the wheels from their exposure to curbage.

215 wide on a 7.5 is hardly a stretch.... I was running 205/50/15 on a 8" with my miata and it was barely a stretch. People safely run 195/45/15 on 8" and 9" all the time and that has a bit more stretch but is nothing crazy.

All of this has nothing to do with the OPs post, but I just don't want anyone to be misinformed.

OP appears to be a Scion xB owner. Not sure how the wheel wells compare to our Yari. Maybe he can safely run higher offsets. Maybe not.
