Default wheel fitment question

Ok all you 7th generation Celica Gurus out there I would like your experience, pics, and opinions ... Do you think 5 star wheel an 18x8.5 with a 35mm offset will be too aggressive for a 01 Celica GT? I do not want to alter the car in any way to have them work. Everything is stock on the 01 GT. I have an opportunity for a good deal but want to make sure it will work first!
Let me know
Thanks

They will work but they wont give you that aggressive fitment you're after. It'll will still be a bit sunken in due to your offset.
