Cool XXR 521 wheels help!!

OK guys, so I really like these wheels and I'm interested in buying some but I don't know if they will fit properly.
here are the links.
http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-521-Wh.../52180142n.htm
http://www.nlmotoring.com/product-p/52188102n.htm
What I need to know is if I can run those offset in my trans am?
Fronts are 18x8.5 35+ offset
Rears are 18x10 25+ offset
Will it be to much?
Thanks for your help.
Oh, and if anyone is running this wheels or similar please post pictures.
Also what color do you all think will look better, flat black, gloss black with chrome lip, flat black with polished lip, machined face black, or hyper silver.
They will be going on a pewter trans am with full ceta mod plus wing but Im going to get a navy blue one and put them on in the future.

They wont even bolt on and if they did, the rears would stick out a half-inch to a full inch beyond the quarters

I had some XXR 006 in 17x9 front, 18x9.5 rears. I want to say they were both +35. They fit ok. The rears rubbed on the fender with a 275/40-18 (was not my idea) but they looked pretty good.

I'm running 18x9 +35mm all the way around with 275/40/18's all the way around. I get some rubbing in the rear over good bumps and dips, and very minor rubbing in the inner fender well up front.

Those are the same wheels I want. Look nice with a 3inch lip out for the rears. A damn shame they wont fit and I know a shop that has them for a killer deal. =[
Heres some pics of them on a mustang.

Man it sucks, I really liked these wheels. The front ones would probably be ok but the rears would stick out 10mm more that what tbird and NVR do?

theres a camaro in my city that has the xxr 521 wheels, if there were all black & had more of a fat ticker tire in the rear i'd say they can look good.
