18x8.5 +35 Will it clear is350 front caliper??
Found out the hard way that 18x8 +40 won't clear the caliper. Found some 18x8.5 with +35 and want to be sure they'll fit before placing the order. Please help!

It will actually completely depend on the wheel spoke/backface design. So maybe share what style wheel it is and other members can help you out. I got some 19x8.5 +36 Gramlights that did not clear due to too concave of a design.

Let us know what kind of wheel it is and we can make a more informed response.
At those specs though, it would have to be some crazy design not to fit.

Typically, the wheel itself can have a huge effect on fitment. For example TSW Vales in a 18x8.5 should fit perfectly in a 40 offset in the front. If caliper fitment is an issue have you tried using a spacer? Do you have any wheel styles you like?

I already purchased Niche Misano M117 in 18X8 +40 for the front and 18X9.5 +40 for the rear. They seem like they would fit perfect but as stated, the spoke design interferes with the caliper on the front. I ordered 10mm spacers with new studs from protuninglab.com and am pretty sure they will fix the issue. Just wanted to find a definitive answer on some other wheel options that would fit. The vendor I spoke to had some ESR SR12s and I like the look but he wouldn't guarantee fitment which means I would have to pay return shipping and a 20% restocking fee if they don't fit. I wish I had somewhere local that had some wheels in stock that I could test fit before purchasing them.
