Yes they would both be heavier(wheel/tire), but there would be also be more maximum grip.

Example= 18x8.5 +35 vs 18x8 +29, the outside would face would be in the same distance to the fender, but the inside width is more narrow.
Incorrect, wider front tire means more grip at that end, aka more oversteer. Equal size tires is the way to go for this car.
Don't run staggered. It is a low powered car. And staggered will mess with the traction control systems. If you want equal distance to the fender front/rear, get a small 3-5mm spacer to adjust.

I may go 8.5. Better look slightly more grip. The only down side that I'll be gaining 8 pounds with my wheel tire selection.
