Spacers are fine. Nothing wrong with running spacers when you're trying achieve the offset you want.

Some people frown upon it, but someone here on the forum told me this... and I think he said it best.

When it comes to running spacers to achieve your offset, it all comes down to a matter of opinion whether its "legit" or not. And I honestly think that is true down to the very bone.

Don't get the +35 offsets, you'd be pretty sunken in. +18 and +21 will fit and look somewhat sunken in if you were choosing a 9.5 in the front and a 10.5 in the rear. But with your 8.5 and 9.5, its going to look even more sunken in.

If Raderwerks offers a lower offset, then I would try and get lower then +18 and +21. Maybe a +10 and +12.

ok cool well when i get my next check in two weeks i will be buying the rims, i couldd now but i gotta pay my phone bill and car payment haha but im just glad no one is saying to not get these rims with how the offsets are because i've only seen one G with Raderwerks. no one even knows what Raderwerks are mostly and i like that. so ill try and see if i can get them in 9 or 10 and if not a lower offset then

I'd say get them if thats what you want.. But if it was me, I would pass on them, due to the sizes.

Although spacers can fix the offsets, you can't get that wide tire stance that a lot of people like.

Yeah, but typical sizes are 9.5/10.5 when people get aftermarket wheels. I think you'll be fine regardless.

but even with a 275 tire, the tire will still be tucked and look as if your setup isn't wide enough.

get them if they fit your budget and style.

Your 275 size tire on your 9.5 wheel won't look wide at all. Its just going to look a lot beefier then it normally would.

Your wheel will still be sunken in tho.
