Tire size. VOlk le37t. Staggered rims

I am interested in getting these rims. Volk LE37 T... they are 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear. They come with the NITTO NT555 235-40ZR18 FRONTS AND 275-35ZR18 REAR.

I've read on threads that staggered wheels will throw off the handling of the car. Also, will these 275-35zr18 rear tires STICK OUT of the rear wheel base? Will i have any problems with these? Are they too big??

I don't participate in autocrosses or any races... but i do "race" my friends in the 1/4mi once in awhile... WIll this benefit? The rims look very nice, but i'm wondering if they are too big.. and won't fit... or will stick out...?

Help please

You should be fine. I have the same wheels 19x8.5+43/ 19x9.5+45 and they don't stick out past the wheels wells. I'm running 245//35/19 F and 285/35/19 R. Give me a ring if you need any help getting the wheels.
