Lancer 08 - offset question

I wonder if anyone knows will be rubbing if I mount following rim:

- 18 * 7.5 offset 35

I have time until Monday, when the contract may be changed for the ET42.

that's a good question. I know that with a wider wheel you would be rubbing a bit in the rear (sounds dirty... lol), but with a 7.5" wide wheel it might be different at stock height. Either way, you would be better off with rolling the rears or going with a higher offset then +35.

I take now ET42. I ordered wheels from the UK, so that they then can not return. Would be large costs.

I have 18x7.5 w/ et:42, I am running 225/45/18 and my car is also lowered by h&r, I have no problem or rubbing. I hope this helps. I think it should be good but can't tell, I can check it if you want to bring your car to the shop I own a car accessories, rims and tires. Im not sure where you from? thanks,
