Are these a good offset for my car it's not too low!

Yeah ET35 is a decent enough offset, you may need a 5mm spacer on the front to prevent the tyre from scrubbing on the strut though.

I know that some reps can be hit & miss, the CH's on mine are excellent quality though

5mm or 10mm will not hurt the bearings that much.

that much? so is that a yes?

Is it better to get more offset and have no spacer and does anyone know of a wheel with more? or have some wheels on with spacers and do you find wheel bearings going alot?

A lower offset would bring the wheel away from the strut, however loads of people run spacers without issues. I'm running 15mm up front and 20mm on the rear and haven't had any issues.
