I had a pair of A/R 8.5 wheels that came on a '38 street rod 10 yrs ago. Back was set pretty high. I moved them to my '67 Camaro and they sat right under the wheel lip..no go. Moved them to my '70 Chevelle and they wouldn't fit inside the quarter on that either. I can't believe after all these years, A/R wouldn't offer a better offset. I sold the wheels because they wouldn't fit anything I had in stock ride height.
as an aside, i replaced them with their 8" wide wheel and they fit all my cars with a 255/60x15 tire. That extra .5" and the shallow offset are an issue.
