Default Purchasing new rims

I have a few questions about some new rims I am thinking about.
I'm looking at the rims in the link below.
https://my350z.com/forum/wheels-tire...ge-chrome.html

Question 1 - am I taking a risk buying rims that have been in an accident even though they have been repaired? What are the risks of buying repaired rims?

Question 2 - are the tires the correct size? Will they throw my vdc off? What is the idea tire size for these rims?

Question 3 - will I need spacers, or will the rims fit fine with the given offset?

Thanks for the help guys. I tried searching for some of the answers but looked for hours and couldnt really find what I was looking for.

If the rim was only slightly damaged and the repair shop is experienced, the wheel should be fine. Just make sure it's balanced, that's all

Question 2 - are the tires the correct size? Will they throw my vdc off? What is the idea tire size for these rims?
The tires are correct in size

Question 3 - will I need spacers, or will the rims fit fine with the given offset?
Considering the wheels are so wide as well as the tires, they should sit flush with your vehicle (no spacers needed).

As stated above:
1. The wheel SHOULD be fine.
2. My z is VDC equipped and I'm running 255/35/19 F and 285/35/19 R and had no problems . With 265/35/19 F I do not. Checking the tire calculator would help.
3. The wheels wil sit flush as seen on the pictures provided by the seller mounted on his car before he totaled it.
