Check this:

The ones you are talking about will give you 1mm less room outside and 11mm less room inside.

What's the stock wheel spec?

You should contact wheeldude.com since he'll be able to tell you for sure what you'd need to do. It looks like you'd need like a 10mm spacer or something!

I replied to your PM about the wheels. For anyone else curious, 18x9.5 +35 P45R wheel will not clear Evo calipers in front. The recommended setup is 18x9.5 +30 all around and then you would use a small spacer in front for caliper clearance. A 5mm spacer with the 18x9.5 +30 will allow these wheels to just clear the calipers and you can still use stock wheel studs.

If you get the 18x9.5 +35 wheels you will need a large spacer up front. Ideally you would want to run a 10mm spacer which will require extended wheel studs in front. Some 255/35/18 tires run wider than others so it's hard to determine the exact alignment you will need, you will need more camber than your current -1.3 front unless you roll your fenders.
