Default wheel fitment question

Hi guys, I guess im asking this question out to the guys who know their wheel fitment stuff...would a 17x8.5 +18 for the rear fit? I know on the wheel fitment thread thats stickied, it says +20 would be flush for 8.5 wide, so +18 being lower offset would push the rim out a bit more right? Would it fit nicely?
has anyone else done something similar? like 8.5 wide with offset in the low 20s, or maybe mid 10s?

thanks in advance

you will probably just need to do some fender work..but that also depends on your drop..should look good thou..theres an aggressive wheel fitment thread check that out..theres some peeps rolling 18x10's so it can be done..just might take some fender work to make it happen..but theres alot of threads on this..

well i know theres a aggressive fitment thread, but most of the people there are doing wide wheels, high offset, like you said, 18x10, but their offset is like 35 or something. its hard to get a good reference when i dont really see any low offset guys around.

im slammed on B&G coilovers, and i already realize i need to do fender work haha.
