So I have a base model hatchback and just bought a set of 17x8 rims with +35 offset I will be putting 235/45/17 tires on it. I ran the deminsions through a tire calculator and it said that the scrub radius is now 11mm positive I also have 20mm spacers. Will I be OK with this scrub radius or should I remove the spacers?

Remove the spacers. If you want a more aggressive look, try to get a wider wheel that stays closer to the stock offset (50mm f/ the Sport Touring hatch, 18x8") I am running 18x9.5", 45mm.

If I remove the spacers do you think it will be flush with the outside edge of the car? If it's not perfectly flush that's fine I just don't want it to be really sunken into the wheel well.
