Input on specs appreciated

Hi gang. I know everyone questions on sizes. I too would search for numbers if it was possible. Researched a bit. Here's what I'm looking at. It's for show only. Will it work?

Front: 18x8.5 +35 offset with 245/40/18
Rear: 18x9.5 +35 offset with 275/35/18

Comments/suggestions appreciated.

I think I'm going with 265/35/18 on the rear to be on the safer side. I know I'll need to roll fenders a bit. I'm lowered on Tein S-Tech and stock struts.

The tire sizes you chose are pretty common.

The front should be fine offset wise. You will probably have to roll the rear. Make sure the wheels clear the brakes.......

Post some pics when you have them mounted.

I always search first, but as my first post stated. " I too would search for numbers if it was possible."

I simply have not seen any with the exact same combination.
