Those wheels look heavy.
If you're trying to run them on a non-turbo, they will probably slow the car down - be aware of that.

The fronts should be okay, but the rears are going to get awfully close to the fender lip - be prepared to roll them especially if you're a lowered.

8.5" front and 9.5" rear?

Front would hit stuff inside.
Rears would hit stuff inside.

If you want to fit the 8.5" up front, I would shoot for a +20 to +25 offset.
If you want to fit the 9.5" in the rear, I would shoot for a +30 to +35 offset.

So your new numbers are 10mm too much offset in front and 10mm too much offset in the rears also.

to give you an idea:
these are 17x8 front with 28 offset and 17x9 with 27 offset

the rears rub on big bumps....I need to roll the fender lip.
