18x8 fronts 18x9 rear all +35 offset will they fit?

I have an 08 GTS and I like the wheels a person has for sale. unfortunately I cant test fit due to the distance that we are apart. They are 18x8 in Front and 18x9 in the back all +35mm offset. what would the tire size need to be and can i get these to work. Thanks

the 18x9 will be too wide def going to have some rubbing issues there,

im running 18x8 +45 tires are 225 40 18 and i get slight rub on bumps and rocky roads nothing major, get more rub with weight in the back.

Why on earth would you want wider wheels in the rear on a FWD car? That'll lead to understeer city.

price

They just had a real good price on them. So if I want the wider look on the back than the front what setup should I get. And do you have pics of your wheels.

Yes they fit as far as lug pattern is concerned, rubbing can be an issue though.
