Default Have 16x7 wheels coming but is ET35 a problem? Help (more)

I have ordered some TSW Alpine wheels and Dunlop M2 205/55/16 snow tires. The TSW Alpine wheels are 16x7 with an ET of 35. I am concerned that the offset of 35 vs. stock wheel offset of 45 will be a problem. I have the lowered sport suspension and as the Alpine wheels are exactly the same width (16x7) as the stock I'm worried that the different offset of 35 may be trouble. I have heard incorrect offset can cause alignment geometry problems resulting in handling problems, tire wear, bearing failure etc..

Anyone running 16x7 wheels with ET = 35 out there?
All comments are appreciated.
