Important question

Is it safe to mount 18x8.5 wheels with a 35mm offset on a 275/35/18? I currently have two 18x8.5 on 275/35/18 on the front and 18x9.5 on 285/35/18 on the rear.

The ride is real smooth and comfy, there is no sign of any weird noises or wobble. I am planning to keep this setup on for many years ahead but I just need to know if it is safe to have on for a long time.

If you are THAT concerned, then you go to the tire manufacturer's website and research that tire's size specifications.

a 275 is outside the safe range for an 8.5" wheel, consider using a 255/40/18 instead

I see that it is not common to put 8.5 on a 275, but it actually works but the thing is I don't want to be driving and both my front tires falls out. That's why I need all you tires experts insights.
