18x8 fronts 18x9 rear all +35 offset will they fit?

I have an 08 GTS and I like the wheels a person has for sale. unfortunately I cant test fit due to the distance that we are apart. They are 18x8 in Front and 18x9 in the back all +35mm offset. what would the tire size need to be and can i get these to work. Thanks

Why on earth would you want wider wheels in the rear on a FWD car? That'll lead to understeer city.

price

They just had a real good price on them. So if I want the wider look on the back than the front what setup should I get. And do you have pics of your wheels.

Yes they fit as far as lug pattern is concerned, rubbing can be an issue though.
