Nope, too low. I wouldn't go lower than +40.

I have a 38 and it seems to be fine. I would suggest rolling the lip on the front fenders. Also would depend more on what tire you are planing on running (225,235,245, in there respectable ratios)

Yeah, I know Fikse's standard fitment is 8.5 +37 up front (I don't know why??). But that is just pushing it as far as lip catchage goes. And going out another few mm is REALLY pushing it. You are right on tire sizing making a difference though.
