8x18" all around!?

I found some, to my like, verry cool rims.. but... the are only 8" wide..
They got a OEM look but still modern and different..

So my Q is.. Will it look silly with 8x18" with 235 40 18 tires all around!?
They got ET40 and im think of running my 12/15mm spacers on them.

I know the tires will be litle higher in profile, but I was thinking 235 will reduce the risk of it looking to narow on the 8" rims?

What do you think?

I don't think it would look silly given that 235/40R18 is not even an inch more narrow than 255/35R18.

I'm going to be running the same sizes. 235/40/18 on 18x8 +40 wheels. I don't have spacers yet but am hoping 12mm/15mm will work.
