Default Too small of an offset?

I'm looking at 17x7 (48mm offset) for the front and 17x8 (35mm offset) for the rear, but I'm concerned about the rear offset. Any help?

Too low, IMO. I'm sure someone will confirm or deny, but that doesn't look promising.

I have the 16" Spoon wheels with a 45mm offset for the rear, and they rub a tiny bit over large bumps or dips. They are perfectly flush with the fender. I would think that 35mm would be past the fender. Hope this helps.

There is no way a 35mm offset wheel fits the car without pulling out your fenders are running a wide body kit.

You can run the 35 in the front but not with a 8 inch wide wheel. The rear will not hold the 35. Your better off getting the 45 all the way wround if you REALLY want those wheels.
