+35mm offset on an 18x8.5" wheel with a 225/40/18 tire with a 1.0" to 2.0" drop and 0 degree camber with have the following problems.
1. Rear tire will rub on slightest bumps even with only a 1.0" drop. OEM springs will cause tire rub on harsh bumps and lesser with a load.Dial-in negative camber will help. How much depends on ride height. The lower the ride height, the more negative camber.2. Front tire will rub the front outside mudguard on harsh bumps or, depending on suspension load (ie turn-in), on medium bumps with 1.6-2.0" drop. It will wear a hole in the mudguard but will not damage the tire (225/40/18).
Going with a smaller 215 sized or 35 series tire would help and might diminish the need for excessive negative camber.
Neither of these options are considered ideal. The only acceptable solution with this offset is to shave the rear fender lips.
Note: The rear fender lips are double-walled, and therefore, cannot be rolled.Adding negative camber might make the rub worse as the outside edge of the tire will be lifted higher. Downsizing the tire as prescribe above may alleviate the rub to degree. Again, not the best solution here. The mudguards could be modified or removed.The best solution would be to utilize a better offset; +40mm. Further, an 18x8" wheel with a +35mm offset would fit with no rubbing.
