Default offsets

I've been reading about offsets and I have a decent understanding of what they are now but it still doesn't help answer my question. Can I put 18x8 wheels with a +35mm offset on my Z for all four wheels? From what I read in the 100 faq's +35 doesn't seem like it would be an issue (seems rolling only required for lower offsets) but I hadn't seen too many people on here talk about offsets like this with such a thin (relatively) wheel. Thanks for the help.

shouldn't be a problem...the stock rims are around those specs. Most ppl who are getting new rims, want them wider and more flush...

yes they will work for a non Brembo equipped car. They will look very tucked in (like a stock wheel) and will not give you the aggressive look most people here crave

Thats cool I just wanted to make sure and yeah no brembos...these are gonna be my ****ty winter rims I'll only use for the 2-3 months while they're salting the roads for all of the snow false alarms we get in st. louis - i got the volks for the driving season. I was thinking of getting VSR rims from a dude on ebay - they look cooler than the stock rims but from what I've heard are probably not as strong. You guys think I should have major reservations about these and just go with stock 18s or you think I'll be okay?
