Default Question about rims

Want to know if 18x9" rims for front +44 offset and 18x10" rims for rears -8 offset will they fit right or need spacer ?

You'll have huge problems with -8 in the rear, that will be almost two inches outside the body.

Fronts will be sunken and rears will be crazy flush.

You'll have some issues with the rears, some work will have to be done. I'd suspect some pull, depending on tire choice. Your rear will stick out roughly an inch more than the 18 x 10.5 et 25 in the attached image, with respect to the same height of course.
