What size wheel as this effects the clearance as well.
With an 8" I'd get at least -11 but prefferable a -16 to -20. But this makes the track wider so this is also another factor with reguads to legality. I run -19 with 15x8 an 35x11.5 Simex but that is on a MWB tray back with the cab shifted so not really very relevant to you.

I'll be getting a 15x8" rim. I'm not really worried about legality, there for play. The tires i'm getting are MT Claws, 35x12.5x15. Will i get away with 8" rims or should i go 9"?

for GQ..........
No need to goto anything else but the standard 'Landcruiser' offset, this will increse your track a bit for off road
15x8 is accepted pretty well for 35's (neg22) @$55 for white......or
16x8 for 35's (neg13ish)@$100 for white

so are you saying that -22 offset should be enough? I brought a new set of rims a couple of months ago and they are -23. what is the actual offset of the landcruiser rims?

Landcruiser is normally -14, Patrol is normall -9 but that depends on exact models etc etc.
I have -21 16x8's and I think both of my sets of 15's are -14. I think someone does a -26 and that would be good for a narow tyre.
With the Silverstone 35x10.5's on the -21 the outside of the tread is in the same place as Simex 35x11.5 on -14.
