I'm gonna assume you should be safe. People running same size/width then even more aggressive offset. All the way to 35 all around, even while staggered with beefier tires. Check the fitment sites, you'll see.

I think the fronts will be more tucked than the rears. I tried logging into Fitment Industries for you but it's not loading up on my computer. Here's the link: Car Wheels, Tires, Suspension & More | Find What Fits Your Car | Fitment Industries

Also, the tire sizes will give you a stretched look if that's what you're going for. Go onto the linked website and you can see a gallery of cars with that set up and you can see the different sizes and styles other folks are running. It will also let you know what suspension they have and if they are rubbing. Any time I get aftermarket wheels, I look at this website for reference.
