I stand corrected. Assuming that photo is actually an 8" wheel, that looks pretty damn good. It's rare to see concave wheels under 9".

I can't speak from experience about the handling effects yet, but plenty of people running more aggressive fitments up front claim no negative effects. +35 really isn't anything crazy and you shouldn't run in to any kind of fitment issues either. With something around a 20mm spacer in the back it should be pretty close to flush.
