Do you think that a 17x8 with a 40mm offset will work?
I found an offset calculator that shows that if the stock wheel is 7.5" wide with a 55mm offset, an 8" wide wheel with a 40mm offset would be pushed out by 21mm or .8".
So what do you guys think?

At one time I was running 17x7.5"/48 mm rims with 225/45-17 tires, and there was about 8-10 mm of clearance between the tire sidewall and the inside of the fenderlip when I had the rear of the car loaded down with the tire inside the fender. Based on that measurement, going to a 17x8" with a 40 mm offset will likely rub on the inside of the rear fender lip unless you roll the fender or run a very narrow tire.
