If you didn't install drop springs or coilovers...then I suppose visually it will protrude past the front fenders. Though because of the suspension design...I don't think that you will rub on the fenders at +35mm offsets. The suspension travel is an upward "parabolic" motion (arcs towards the center of the car as it travels upwards) soooo....you shouldn't rub. I could be completely off...but I am pretty sure. If I calculated correctly...a +35 offset could be used on a 10" wide front rim and that would be about the same as +22 9.5" fronts.

That's what I am hoping for, but you have to remember the car runs very little camber. There is this chance that it will rub. I have driven it normally on the street, but I honestly don't feel great about taking it to the track

I understand. I am also waiting on SPL to finish their front camber arms, just so that I can address this potential issue as well since I am looking to run way more aggressive front offsets. But I don't want to use coilovers to compensate for creating the negative camber.
