9 x et35 is a gain of 25mm on the outside edge of the rim over the stock 8 x et47. that would absolutely be past flush unless you plan on putting in some serious negative camber up there.

i'm measuring flush at front to be...

9.0" width = et42 (may have suspension clearance issues
8.5" width = et35
8.0" width = et29

also... i've read on this forum, several posters are having clearance issues with the 8.5" x et35 using 235 tread width. since all of the above measurements use a gain of 18mm over stock, all of these may have the same rubbing issues. my personal plan is a set of front at 8.0" x et35 and a rear of 9.0" x et35. this way i'll be able to go the stock ///M tires.
