will +35mm 18x9 wheels fit up front?

I just bought (4) 18x9 wheels with +24mm offset for my 1990 FC3s. Now looking back i saw that they offered a 35mm 18x9 as well. I was thinking that they would fit better up front.. Not that i have buyers remorse or anything but the wheels are on sale and I can buy the other ones if I need to...

What do you guys think?

18x9 +35 would definitely not fit.

With +24's, you will be but millimeters from touching the coilover, if you are using coilovers. I would think it impossible to run with factory struts.

In short, you made a good purchase by going with +24's

Offset on those wheels should be the same as your cobras, the only difference being the wheel diameter. My wheels are also the same offset, hence the quick reply haha.

Well they sent me a set of 35mm wheels instead.... Here is what they look like mounted up front, in the rear there is no clearance issues at all..
