You should be fine with those offsets.

even if you WERE lowered conservatively you won't rub much. 35 front and back is what I have and I have F-sport suspension. Front rubs just a tiny bit on tight fast turns.

Ba,
Have you ever posted pics of your car with the new wheels on Fs? If not, post em up! I would like to see how 19's look on Fs.

After a little research I found this.
If the stock offsets are 18" RWD :
Front: 225/40/18, 18x8, +45mm
Rear: 255/40/18, 18x8.5, +50mm

then the +35 will bring the tire inwards more...correct?

nope - other way around actually.

less offset = wheel further out in the well.
