Will these wheels fit on my sc400 without any issues; 18x8.5 front +35 offset. And 18x10 rear +25 offset?

Fronts should pass with flying colors, the rears will be close depending on tire. I ran a 275/35 on a 10.5" et 25 with a bit of stretch and aggressively cut fenders, lowered to no finger gap. No issues with rubbing at all. The 10" et 25 will not be as aggressive, you should be good to go.

I have a 94 with the 97 front and side so I'm trying to decide between wheels or the 97 rear bumper

ull need to lower the car if it inst already low, the wheels willl poke out a lil if u dont lower

the fronts will be sunk, rears will be flush with the negative camber that youll get from the drop. I good fender roll will get them to fit.u might be able to get away with a 275 tire the biggest

NEVER cut your fenders (unless you're paying a body shop to do it and reinforce it accordingly). It weakens the integrity of the sheet metal and in many cases, it warps/ripples.

hmm on tanabe's i dont think you need to do anything to the fenders then. if you plan to go any lower, you'll need to cut or roll the fenders. cutting the fender will be just fine.
