I have the same on mine Chuff, mim 1000's iirc. Same offset too, the car was lowered 60-70mm and they only scrubbed at speed on full lock... nothing a bit of raisage wouldnt fix! Ben

Yea no probs with the rear on mine, slightly stretched tyres help but they will be stretched a touch anyway due to the width.

ET of 35 is fine, you have an extra 1/2" there but it should still be ok.  I have gone as low as ET18 at the back with no rubbing, but that was with falken ze512s which have a stretched look tyre profile so give you a bit extra room (195/50)
Up front I had ET24s and they started to catch when the camber was reset, but hammer work to the metal lip and the plastic lip was chopped out, now I have ET13s and they are fine.
