That offset is at least 2X what I would recommend.

you would need about a 30mm spacer, if not more, to bring this flush to the fenders

less offset, the more the wheels stick out. With a 9.5 rear you would need about a +0 to +15 to be flush with the fender.

technically you could get them to fit, but you don't want them.

I would get something with less offset. Those wheels will be so tucked in. Stock wheels are +30 so that will give you an idea of what they will look like. NOT GOOD!!! It's pointless to get them with the intention of using a HUGE spacer when you can just get wheels with the right offset.

a 25mm spacer would be needed to sit at a nice stance.

I wouldn't get it! Why spend money on wheels when their not the the right offset. "Wheels make or break your car!" At least in my opinion!
