Default Rim+Tire Question for 2007 ES350

Hi folks,
I purchased an 07 ES350 last year. I have a set of staggered rims I used on another car and was wondering if anyone could provide any input into whether they could work on the ES350s. The rim specs are:
Fronts: 17x8 with 225-45-17 (offset +35)
Rears: 17x9 with 245-40-17 (offset +38)

Based on those will they fit website the speedometer will be off by 6%. I realize putting staggered rims on a FWD car will be fruitless, however, I have the rims laying around and thought I could put on as my existing rims are on their way out. My last resort is to sell this set up if it doesn't work.

Thanks guys!

Sell them and get some the same size front and rear. With staggered you cannot rotate your tires and on front wheel drive the front tires wear out twice as fast as the rear.

I got my Lexus replica wheels here a couple years ago and they look great and have been driving fine. Center hole is OEM size and so is offset.
The prices are great. https://www.oewheelsllc.com/

Thanks, Clutchless. I'll see if I can get them sold. It's a shame, as I really liked these!

It looks like shipping will be a lot to Toronto!
