Default Wheel fitment question

Ok I have been eyeing up a set of wheels, spec are 18x9.5 with a +35mm offset, I know for the rear, these will be fine, however, in the front will these stay under the wheel wells, Also what type of grinding and pounding if any am I going to need to do?

Please post pics if you have this setup or something similar in the front.

I read the post thanks for the help, however the post does not even metion the front. So I refer back to my original question

will a wheel with a +35 mm offset in an 18x9.5 stay under the FRONT wheel well?

I have 38 mm offset 9.5" wheels on the front of my SS. The tire is just barely under the lip . . .

Here's a side shot . . .



A 35 mm will move outwards 3 mm . . . And yes the rears would be OK.
