^^ not nessisarily at all. Brake clearance depends more on the wheel its self then the offset. But those wheels will not front clear coils either way, get a lower offset.

yeah, i have 18X8.5 +35 up front with 225/35ZR18's and needed 15mm spacers to clear my coilovers and 30mm Z brakes. Out back i have 18X9.5 +35 with 265/35ZR18's. needed 8mm spacers to clear my coilovers (Ksport Kontrol Pro).

you will need some spacers, and for the rear set up are you going to road race the car or ?

reason with the rear depending on the offset you might encounter some inner rubbing on the shock colar when hitting compression turns or dips in the road.

why are you still asking about offsets, when you've just been told that brake clearance depends on spoke design?

and really, +9 or +7...if you have to ask, 2mm doesn't matter
