    if your standard wheel size is 17.7.5 ET51 then the 8.5's would stick out an extra 29mm than your standard wheel

    Can i get away with the extra 29mm as fair as main roads is concerned, with no scrubbing?

    Technically I don't think they will sit legally without some work, as 29mm extra poke will be beyond the guards and most state laws say no to this.

    Having said that a quick search on here and elsewhere indicates some pretty aggressive fitments being done.. your call on how far you want to go.
