18x8.5 18x9.5 FD Fitment

There are these wheels that Ive been looking at, and I was wondering if anybody could tell me if they would fit. They are 18x8.5 Front, 18x9.5 Rear. Im not sure of the offsets, but I think the fronts are 35. By the way I have Tein Coilovers and stock brakes.

Absolute minimum I would run at both front and rear would be +38, you would better off with +40 to +50.

Spacers won't help... higher offsets mean that the weheels are further IN, not OUT.

Those wheels look like an SSR GT3 copy... you should probably save your cheeze and get the real thing in the right offsets.
