Can you put such a wide rim on a NB?

they will fit no problems. use a 215/40/17 or 205/40/17 and wont have any rubbing issues.
Are you looking at the gmax 'drift6' wheel. 17x8+35 4x100 + 4x114.3 multistud?

You can put a 8 +0 on a NB from what I've seen

As mentioned above you can run a lower offset, but you may have to run smaller tires and/or flare your guards.
What wheel/tire combo are you looking at?
marvis.

I was looking at buying the Enkie RS+M wheels, but i lost the website I was on yesterday, and now all the websites I look up have different spec's on the wheels......interesting.
I have a crazy idea, maybe someone has done it before, I love the way the standard wheels look, do you think it'd be easy to get them custom made in a bigger size?

That should fit as long you don't use really wide rubber, 215 probably the max.
I have 16 X 7 +25, so with 8" wide +35, it should be very similar. I didn't even have to roll the guard and they sit flush to the guards.
