Direct this to the will it fit thread. You should find a good answer there.

It's not trolling, the widest wheels with the lowest offset will give you the look in the pictures above. Do some freakin' research man, there are a million different setups posted on this site. But at the then end of the day only you can decide what YOU think looks good.

Stock suspension and wider wheels with a lower offset looks fugly IMO.

I think you should be fine. An 18x9 +35 will extend out 28mm more than the stock 18x8 +50. Now several users (including me) have run 25mm spacers on the stock wheels. Look at the picture in the link I provided and just add 3mm and that should be what it will look like. Of course tire size will affect that as well. It might look a little goofy, but you will not be mexiflush like 9k was saying. You might have some poke. Like I said try searching through the will it fit thread

I have PF01's in 18x9 + 35 with 245/40R18 tires. I'm lowered on Mazdaspeed coilovers and I don't rub at all. I have the coilovers as low as they go which is 2" I think.
I had the wheels on the car for 2 weeks before lowering and there were no issues but they made the car look like a truck with the stock suspension. If I were keeping the stock suspension I would go with a slightly less aggressive offset, maybe + 40.

If you don't have the time to search and read a little, what makes you think that everyone here has time to spoon feed you? Is our time not as important as yours?

The Will it Fit thread is out of control, I agree.....but it is posters like you that are causing it to become out of control. Be part of the solution, not the problem. Next time you feel like posting, take 5 minutes and search for your question.

Here is that thread mrl84 mentioned:

If you don't like reading then learning must not be a priority. Hence...trolling.

I took two months to just read stuff before making my first post. It's one thing to ask for clarification on points of confusion after doing the basic research, quite another to ask others to do the work for you. My basic fee for consultation is $100/hr or $500/day when I charge for such things. Ppal the cash and I'll do your work for you. Laziness is expensive.

There's a life lesson here should you choose to see it.
