Default offset question

I'm looking at picking up a set of M..310 Avant Garde....fronts are 18"x8" with +35 offset with 245/45/18 tires and the rears are 18"x9" with +38 offset with 275/40/18 tires. Am I going to need wheel spacers for this combination?... Car is lowered 1 1/4 with BMR springs .Thanks

I need to know if these offsets are going to clear the brakes and rotors?

sticky at the top of this section should help, not sure about the fronts or why you want to put an 8" wide wheel on the front, that is factory size for v6 and earlier 4th gens and narrower that what comes on the ws6 and SS cars...

if you want that size wheel, go for it. just saying IMO if you are spending money on aftermarket wheels, why stick with factory width (unless going with a "drag" setup)? my 94 z28 came with 16x8 wheels from the factory as an example. these cars love having a square wheel setup for good handling so i would suggest looking for 18x9 or even 9.5 all around if you can swing it with the 275 tire. i am running 18x10.5 wheels with 295s on all 4 corners and it feels like it's on rails (of course that also depends on the tire). just some food for thought
