35mm offset tires vs 45?

From what I understand the 35mm offset wheels will stick out +10mm more vs our current wheels. Has anyone installed a similar offset wheel? Do they work with no rub issues?
Yes - A wheel with 10mm less offset and matching width will place the wheel and tire 10mm outward from the OEM wheel position. Which will make the front tire extend further when turning, increase the moment on your wheel bearings, and change the handling characteristics. But 10mm is not a lot. I have wheels with 35mm offset for my 2013 RAV4 winter tires and there is plenty of clearance and I don't notice much of a difference. I doubt you would have clearance issue unless you are pushing the limits with larger tire sizes.
