    N/A or Turbo?
    If N/A
    WAY to big in my opinion, but each to their own, stay with the full 1inch staggered option, as the engineers spent $$ designing it this way for a reason.

    IF turbo, sounds good but keep the 1 inch difference.
    Have a look on this site, this will give you a good indication,

    also, if you have coilovers, roll the guards or adjust height, if stock suspension and stock height, should be fine, Flush is i believe 22mm or 24?
    im running plus 32 all round without an issue.
    the issue you may have the front may not clear the strut. being 8 inch wide. as mine is 7 inch wide and sits about half an inch off the coilovers.

    If for street/aesthetics, they'll work, likely without guard rolling (depends on tyres). A 18 x 9 +35 would be better in the rear though (with a 255/35 or 265/35). If you're bound to the above options, you can fit a 255/35 tyre to the 8.5 wide rim.
