Default quick wheels offset question

Will a +35 offset work and look good on both the front, and the rear wheels of a 04 gto?
the wheel sizes are 18 x 8.5 with a +35 offset...


another question is will spacers be recomended? if so what brand if any are better to use for this application...
-Thanks

35 will NOT fit in the rear, it will fit in the front. 35-40mm front and 40-52mm in the rear IMO.
