Default Wheel Question. 18x8 and 18x9 35mm offset.

Can 18x8 and 18x9 wheels with 35mm offset be used on my GS400 without any rubbing issues? Recommend tire sizes? Car is lowered 2" on Tein SS. Thank you.

I didn´t want to start a new offset/wheel thread so I hijack this one (hope you don´t mind michael200). Will 19x8,5 +30 & 19x10 +33 fit on a GS300? I don´t mind rolling the fenders. The car is lowered with Tanabe df210/stock suspension. The wheels used to sit on a 350Z. If yes, what tiresize do you recomend?
Thanks!

So if I roll the rears it will fit?
Sorry for repeating but I must be 100% sure before I buy the wheels.
Thanks!

I would stretch a lil, run a 225/35 for front and 245/35 for rear. This would help eliminating rub
