Welcome to the board!
I'm running 18x9.5 with a 45mm offset on the rear, and the fronts are 18x8 35mm offset. they'll probably fit, but as shaun said, we need a bit more info.
according to the infamous old europe wheel diagram, they should fit fine.

That's not a very radical wheel fitment.

They shouldn't be a problem at all to fit. Do you have a particular reason for that size? Got any pictures of the car that you care to share?

Re: 17x7.5 40 offset wheels
I found a set of 17x8 35mm offset that i like more. I'm doing the LeBaron brake upgrade on the car so i was worried the fronts wouldn't fit will with the extra thickness of the adaptor on the front. These are the two rims I'm looking at the Drag is 17x7.5 40mm the tsw is 17x8 35mm offset. if we know that the tsw will fit with no rubbing that would make my day. lol

What are your objectives?
Going for a certain look?
You want the car to drive differently?

What he said...
From a looks standpoint, I like the 2nd wheel better, but I also don't know anything about the brand.
from an economics standpoint, buying 4 of the same wheel and tire makes sense, from a performance standpoint, you can benefit from staggering the wheel widths front and back, maximizing drive tractions while maintaining reasonable steering effort. "The Serious wheel and tire thread" goes into way more detail.
