I have a 2021 base GT and I ordered a set of 19 x 10 wheels to do a square setup with 275/40/19 tires all around.

The front offset is +35, while the rear offset is +40. I was expecting the offset to be the same all around, but they stated that the front needed +35 to clear the brakes and the rear needed +40 to tuck into the fender.

This is my first set of wheels so I wanted to make sure that sounded right before I mount them. I'm also wondering the following:
- Will the fronts poke out noticeably compared to the rear with the 5mm offset difference?
- Will I still be able to rotate my tires front to rear with the different wheel offsets?
- Any other cons to having different offsets between front and rear with the same wheel size?

Thanks for any help I'm pretty new to all of this!

The front's may not poke out at all.
I have a set of 19x11's--fronts are +26, rears are +52 (305's all around).
With the +26 offset, the tires poke out about 1/4 of an inch. Since yours is only +35, you may not get any poke at all.

The only con to having different offset wheels front to back, is that you are limited to side-to-side tire rotations. Your front wheels will fit the rear, but the rear wheels may not fit the front--not without contact and rubbing.
