18x8.5 w/ 35mm offset for the front, any problems?
Alright guys, I have decided to get a drop and just replace my 18's with new wheels.
I decided to order from TireRack.com but I called them up and they said the 18x8.5 w/ 35mm offset was good for the rear only. I want to get 18x9.5 w/ 38mm offset for the back and put the 18x8.5 in the front. Would it cause any problem? Rubbing?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Will these solve the problem of rubbing? For example, I get an 18x8 w/ 40mm for the fronts and 18x9 w/ 40mm? I'm also planning on using the stock tires until it's dead if that helps a bit.
I also just don't want to bother with rolling fenders and rubbing that i would rather compromise and get a different width and offset even if it doesn't sit flush.

i am running 18x8.5 with a 25 offset with no problems. i have 235/40/18 tires. i did do the heat gun trick on a small part of the wheel well, but i dont rub on the fenders at all. i am also lowered on tanabe's nf210s. 25 offset looks super aggressive, so 35 will definitely work. good luck!
