Depends on whether or not it hits the caliper. Some rims with a +35 offet couldn't clear the calipers while some could. The stock offset is +38 I believe.

Can't tell you for sure. I would say no. I bought some +40 for my car and they didn't even come close to clearing the front brake calipers (I was told that they would fit). It depends on the design of the wheel. I have +30 on there now. There clear the calipers about the same as the stock enkei wheels.

There's no point in going from an 8" wheel to a 7" wheel.
