Default 58mm offset fit??

I just got my wheels in and I am waiting on my pro kit to come in. The wheels are 17x9.5 fronts and 18x10.5 rears. Front offsets are 54mm and the rears are 58mm. Will these wheels fit? I want them to go on as smoothly as possible. What should I do??

I have no experience in this but what i have read is that 53mm is the max off set and that the 58mm for sure will require a spacer or the bfh mod not sure about the lowering kit im still reading up on that

I have 58mm offset 18x10.5s. No spacer needed. No BFH. I am at stock ride height. I did put a spacer on them however, to clear the bumpstop so I dont have to lift it by the rearend. Theres another guy on here with the exact same wheel/tire combo as me on a black WS6. He didnt do any modification to his car to make them fit. He is also at stock ride hieght.
I would imagine some BFH will be needed when your lowered though.

I had to do some minor BFH on my red car with my old 58 mm offset wheels with 295/35ZR18 tires.

You're about +17mm off up front, and +20mm off out back. It will work if you have an extra 5/8" backspacing to spare. Good luck!
