+35 is a good offset for that "flush" look. Just use 225 or 235 width tires and no wider so you don't rub.

Nope. Too deep. You can try it to be sure. 17x8 +30 is about perfect in the back. +35 all around works great. It's the front end that's most sensitive to widths and offsets. 8" wide rims with +35 or +38 offsets seems to work best up front. Just make sure the tires aren't too wide or they'll be the problem.
