Mixed Offsets

Hi,
I searched the forum & couldn't find a straightforward answer to my question. Will running 18x8.5 rims with different paired offsets (+30 & +33) work? What would be the result?

Thanks for your input!

Yeah the ones you listed are fine. those offsets are so close, they would be nearly identical anyway.

You should put the pair of matching +30s on the rear and the +33s on the front probably.

Would I encounter any problems with alignment, rubbing or regular tire rotations?

I'm surprised any manufacturer even makes two wheels of the same style in offsets that close. I mean, 3mm? I just don't get that product segmentation from a market analysis perspective. 10mm or 20mm, sure. But 3mm?
