staggered offset on evo x?

hi!
im looking to buy these:
*~*~*~*~*Volk GT-F FOR SALE!!!!!!*~*~*~*~

here's the specs:
Volk GT-F Gold 18x9.5 Rear +29 Front +31
Nitto Invo's 255/35/18

but i have some question:
1. will it clear the front brembo brakes?
2. having a staggered offset, will it affect my awd?
3. will i rub when i lowered my car with coilovers?

or should i just get

advan rg2 18x9 +29 gold with 265/35/18 (brand new)

im putting it on evo x pb mr

thanks

at that offset it depends on the specific wheel if it will clear the brakes or not... don't buy them unless you know someone with an evo with the exact same wheels and same specs or if they're local and you can try fitting them...

don't have an answer for you on the awd system, personally I'd just stick with the same wheel all around

Mismatching offset isn't a problem on AWDs. Whether that particular set of wheels and tires will fit is another matter (to which I cannot speak).

I staggered my offset to get better traction on high speed turn in's. I have 5mm spacer up front on my same offset all around making it +20 front and +25 rear. Offset does not affect your AWC
