foolish it is! jk

Those offsets are way off man. First off you would have enough trouble fitting 10's on it let alone 10.5. The offset for a 10 should at least be 50 to 55 so the answers is no do not buy them.

I know from experience that most wheels on an SXE10 in an 18x9.0 (or bigger width) +29 (or smaller) offsets will not clear the fenders at all, even if they are rolled and pulled. If you go too low in the offset, they wont clear the calipers.

You can find several wheels companies that make a 9.0" or wider wheel that will fit if you are running a +40 or larger offset, but you will need some agressive fender pulling, or go wide-body (If you are planning on going wider than 9.0" wide)

wow... this is an old post... sorry for bringing it back from the dead but i thought for reference for current owners, 10.5 +35 225/35/18 fit on the rear and 9 +25 215/35/18 on the front with fender roll and camber on coilovers

i spaced the back out for clearance on the inside
