I have the same size rims and tires. I Don't know what the offset is of my rims. I am riding on Sportlines though. Hope this helps.

That looks good.

To the OP if you rub just roll the fenders a little

Those sure look more like 285/30/20 to me, because a 285/35 would have a sidewall at least as tall as a 245/40, plus a 285/35/20 would be around 27.85" tall.

a 255/35/20 is 27.0" tall...you should be good depending on the BS of the rim, the pro-kit is not a crazy drop.
