Those offsets are wack, the fronts will be more sunken in than stock.

Alright price, but shitty offset.

Im going to assume a few things, the 10.5 is a +15 offset, which would be good, but when him getting a 8.5 front instead of the 9.5 and saything the offset is "lower" im going to also assume he doesn't know what he's talking about and might have the 10" rear.

I say go for a testfit. If the rears fit very flush then it's the 10.5 if they are sunken in it's the 10" with the +38 offset.

It's a decient deal but you WILL need spacers for the front. 25mm ones. For the rear if it is the 10.5 +15 you will be golden there. Anything wider than a 275 on the rear you'll have to roll your fenders, especally if you plan to lower.

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

I run 18x10.5 +15 front and +-0 rear. I'm dropped about 2.25" and running 265/35 RE01-r. About to take the spacer off of the rear and run +15 rear with less camber. Gotta order some camber arms.
