Clarify the offsets. I think you mean +25.4mm offset, is that right?
If so, that will clear on the inside, but I am not sure on the outside. How much extra space do you get with the wide front and rear fenders, relative to the stock fenders? Those wheels will stick out 1" past the stock fender in front, and 1.5" past the stock fender in the rear.

Those are not even close to fitting, at least up front. Those fronts would require a full 2-inches of clear space beyond the stock fenders.
Your slip angles would be severely messed up with those offsets, not to mention the additional wear on the wheel bearings.

Ask again what the offsets are. For instance, when he says "-1", does he mean that the wheel pad is closer to the inner rim edge, or the outer rim edge. At some point in the history of wheels, the meaning of "negative" and "positive" offsets got switched. He might be using a different meaning than what is commonly used around here.
Or have him measure the backspacing, as I have done in this pic (use caution when taking the measurement to avoid error if a round pole is used, as I did in the pic):

Does someone have a link to a page that shows how offset and backspacing are measured? Maybe the OP could show that to the guy selling the wheels to get everyone speaking the same language.
I suspect the "1" means 1 inch.

And the ones on the pic look like they are 1" negative offset. Holy crap!
