I bought this ADRs by mistake, should i keep it or sell it ?

I bought this from eBay by mistake. The question is should i keep them?
If 9.5" can handle 285 in the rear i think i will do it. what about the offset, is it gonna be good for my car.

They'll work, the offsets are a bit conservative, but they'll work...also you can put a 285 on the 9.5"

He means that with a +35 offset, the wheels/tires will be a bit tucked into the fender. If you want the wheels/tires to be flush with the fenders, your offset should be in +18 to +25 range.

I'd say keep the wheels and get some 15mm spacers. Those should do nicely...

If I added 15mm spacers, that should bring it to +50 offset. I really don't know , or 15mm - 35 =20 ?. I want my wheels to be flush like you said .

With spacers you subtract. The higher the offset the more tucked in it will be, so adding spacers push them out, therefore lowering the offset.

When you add spacers of that amount, make sure you get longer studs. There are some (project Kics) that come with new studs. If you don't add the studs, you won't have enough thread to securely hold your wheels on. The Kics spacers can get quite pricey...($2-300 I think).

BTW - I've never seen those before...very interesting and could look nice one your car.
