What are you trying to do?
I'd say you can get away with 35 and keep it in the fenders

Not if he's lowered. I've got 195/55/16's on my 16x7 +35 Work Ewing RS-Beta's, and even with 1.5 degrees of camber, I rub on bumps.

PS. 16x7.5 +35's would stick out about 6.8mm more than 16x7 +35, meaning even less clearance.

Not that I'm questioning it... but 16x8 +38 (thats hanging out further than a 35 7.5), 225/45/16s and I dont rub on anything. Roll the fenders or play with it.
At some point on 7th gen I wrote a "Standard answer" to this question.... the cliff notes is try it and fiddle around until it works.

Have you had your tires tuck under the fenders? I've seen your car on multiple accounts, and I want to say that you haven't (at least not while sitting still).

Not standing still.... but put that thing on the track, it squats down pretty good. My car's not dumped, but there's only a finger-finger and a half of clearance in there... I drove the car 1500 miles over the summer with an extra set of rims, my tools and my camping gear in it for a track day in Michigan, I never had a problem rubbing on anything, and you can be pretty certain that all that **** in the back cleared out that wheel gap in a hurry.
Like I said... I'm not disagreeing with you.... but, if you want it to happen, there's ways of making it happen. I'm sure the VW style stretchytire would get the job done too.... those guys do some crazy **** and still clear factory fenders.

camber was crazy but i did not have to go so much, i wanted to tuck these thats why i went so much.


with that size and offset, my front sits flush.. my rear could be flushed with out as much camber, but i like my car low

heres a pic of the front


heres 16x7 +33 fr 16x8 +38 rr, if this helps


personally, all the different size and offset i've tried, with minimal camber, tucked, and not sucked in, for a x7.5, i'd go with something close to 40 offset.. but if you dont mind a little negative camber, id mess with some 30-35.. they just sit so much nicer.


17x7.5 +40

If I'm honest, those are the ones I liked best on your car.
