I might have to get a set of this now. yeah, I thought +35 on the rear seemed very aggressive as well. I was playing with the wheel offset calculator and was thinking of using the following setup to extend both wheels out 27mm (~1.06") so front and rear will be even (inside wheels will consequently extend +11mm from my stock 17").

Front: 18x8.5 +47, Rear:18x10 +40

So will the above work and does +27mm that extends outer wheel position will look "flush" enough without looking too aggressive (or do I have more room). Is it a good idea to make both front and rear tires extend the same clearance this way.

The front fitment is good . It will definitely give you a "flush" look, as well as provide good clearance all around without being too aggressive . Furthermore, it will leave room for
error if you decide to experiment with different tire applications and/or lowering your vehicle with adjustable coil overs ect.. Ultimately, if you decide that you want a slightly more aggressive look, a small spacer can be added in the future .
