Definitely those offsets are for 996 Porsche 911s. Kinesis are nice wheels but you need way better offsets. For a 10.5" wheels you should look for +18 (aggressive) to +24 (well fit / not as aggressive but still flush to the fenders)
If you want ultra aggressive you can go for an 11" wide rear wheel with +17 which is the most aggressive you can go without running too much negative camber.
