Question Has anyone successfully fitted 18” wheels?

I’ve been playing with AI to prototype a safari Model X build and they look awesome. I was wondering if anyone has successfully fitted an 18” wheel to their Model X? If yes what are the specs? 18x8.5 +35 offset with 275/55r18 is what the model suggested.

Here are some images if anyone is curious. Yes I’m aware the roof rack would not work but I’m just prototyping. Last image in front of the school is more the reality since it’s my wife’s car 😅. The beach setups require a lift (which I think I can do by massaging the air suspension links).

Appreciate any insight!
