That would mean for a safe offset, 8.5et37 would sit the same on the inside. However, you could go 8.5et40 and use a small spacer if you have rubbing issues.
Thanks yeah these guys above make some fair points too. I am probably gonna go et39 in the fronts with 235s to start. 3mm spacer and LCAs and TS there after to open the door for -2 or more camber with 245s. Our Dinan 0.5" drop in the front should make things easier.

The larger tire is cool but without camber, full load will not utilize the tire end to end. My 235 or even 245 tires under full load will be turning into 225..215.. Ive got a -0.7 camber with stock arms and fairly stuck there..
