18x8.5 front 18x9.5 rear help

ok i have come across a set of wheels for a very good price, the front tires are 245/40/18 and 275/35/18 in the rear and the offsets are +29 and +35, how could i make them fit on an FD...wheel spacers? or would they not work at all.

From speaking to Rishie our resident wheel expert here, Those offsets won't work. Sorry. 45mm offsets all the way around would be perfect. For a 10" wide rear wheel, you'd need a 50 mm offset.
