A 35 aspect ratio is going to put your tire diameter at 26.57". That is a bit tall in the front and you likely will have rubbing issues. I try to keep my diameters to 26 and under although some say they prefer the taller tire. I'd do some more reading. Stock 3rd gens are a 0 offset wheel, which means the inside mounting surface of the wheel is dead smack in the middle of the wheel. Running a wheel with a 20mm (.8") or 35mm (1.4") offset would mean you would need to run a .8" or 1.4" adapter. Meaning, the wheel with the 20mm offset has its mounting location (in relation to the wheel) .8" away from a stock wheel. If you didn't use an adapter, the wheel would sit inside the wheel well .8" more than stock likely causing all kinds of rubbing and fitment issues.
