8" wide is pushing it in an Accord, but can be done without rubbing. What's the offset?

Thanks for your help guys. The offset on the new rims is +42mm. From a side view of the rims it looks as it they will fit up into the fender. The only thing holding them back is the small metal lip on the inside of the fender. A friend told me that this could be rolled back?? Would getting stiffer springs be another solution??
