I doubt 8.5" will work under a kombi, regardless of offset. I'm running 235 width rear tyres on 6.5 x 16" rims, and believe me, I have no room for
more. Smaller tyres on larger rims will work, as vwtyp2 has shown, but 8.5" rims are pushing it. It's not the height that creates limitations (on
the back), it's the width.
