Hey Guys, I need your expert opinions, especially for the guys who are running 9.5" rims on the rear with +35 offset.

Here's the story, I ordered my wheels but have only received the two front ones. These wheels are different as all four wheels are 18x8.5 with +35 offset. The front has a 2" lip and the rear has 3" lip. It looks staggered because of the different lip size however they are all 18x8.5". With that said, I've been waiting for over a month for the rears to come in and when I just called the company they gave me the standard response I've been getting which is "We should be getting them in soon but we don't know when"...Makes me frustrated and and I want my wheels NOW.

So my question is this. I'm thinking of going 18x9.5 +35 offset with 225/45/18. That'll only be 10mm on the front edge of the rim. I have the Eibach drop and looking at the clearances, I think I'll be able to do this without any issues of rubbing. I just want to see if anyone out there has the same setup and if they do, are they experiencing any issues with rubbing or whatever. If no issues, then I'm gonna call them and have them ship me out the 9.5"s.

Thanks in advance guys!
