Default looking to buy new rims b4 summer starts

ok so im in need of new tires so i decided to upgrade my rims also..getting rid of the salad shooters and looking to get some z06 replicas...i found a tire/wheel package online that looks good...but i have a few questions about the rims before i buy them...they are a staggered fitment 17x9.5 with a +54 offset for the front with 265/40R17 tires and 18x10.5 with a +58 offset in the rear with 295/35R18 tires...i read the sticky on the rims section and it said i will need to do the BFH mod and possibly roll the fenders with any offset bigger than +53 offset...will these rims fit ok on my car? or should i consider different ones? wut type of offsets do your rims have? i just want to make sure i buy the right sizes...thanks in advance!

also will these offsets make the rims stick out to far from the fenders? i want the rims to be lined up with the fenders...not tucked and not to far out...any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks!

It should be ok but I'll let other chime in with their experience. I jus' wanted to say that with higher offset numbers - the farther inward a rim would be placed. The lower the offset number - the farther outward blah, blah blah.

The 58mm offset you'll def need to do the bfh mod. Doubt you'll need to roll the fenders though.
