Newbie here...question about offset
I am a newbie to the 350 community and I had a quick question. I am looking to buy 18x8 wheels with 35mm offset and I was wondering if they will fit my stock 03 350...
Thanks

Welcome. Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

And those won't rub with the 35mm offset or would I need spacers?

No and no.
35mm offset is considered "high", which means it's tucked more into the wheel well than a lower offset (like +30, +25, +20, etc.). Your wheels are similar in size/offset to stock. Spacers make the offset less positive, i.e. your current +35mm offset wheel with a 15mm spacer would net a +20mm offset. You could run spacers, but you wouldn't have to.

Welcome, you got lucky with easygoing answers. Just to really mess you up. I am running 20x10 rear wheels, 20 offset with 305/25/20 tires. The fronts are 19x8.5 wheels, 15 offset with 245/35/19 tires. How did I do this? Use the search section, or take a boat load of money to specialty shop and let them take care of it.
