Default Need help w/ 17" Rim Size and Offsets for SC

I've been searching through other topics and the SC Wheel & Tire Guide but couldn't find any solid information on 17" rims. I have a chance to buy a set of used Work rims. They are 17x8 and 17x9, both with +35 offsets. How will these fit (if they even do). Will they be tucked in or flush and will there be a need for fender mods with a 1" drop on the SC?

Also, will these specs clear a TT brake upgrade or does it depend solely on the design of the rim clearance and spokes? Thanks for any information.

fronts will be sunken in. rears will be ok but not flush. imo whether you rub or not is a matter of suspension setup. im on 17x9/8 with 30offset all around 245/45 and 235/45. camber: neg1 degree front, neg0.5 degree rear. with stock sways, oem/replacement shocks, and eibach springs. stock fenders. i rub slightly when entering a corner at a good speed or when doing a quick Uturn. TT brake clearance ultimately depends on spoke design.
