Will these wheels work? (crazy)

I'm planning to throw away my OEM 17's (non-Brembo coupe) and replace them with wheels of the following specs:
front: 18 x 8, +51, 2- 225/35/ZR18, BFG G-Force KDW tires
rear: 18 x 9, +60, 2- 265/35/ZR18, BFG G-Force KDW tires

Yes I realize the offset craziness but I like the wheels (Work). I don't have any experience with spacers so I'd appreciate suggestions. Also what do you think of the tires? I've used either Potenzas or Michellins most of my life but not much knowledge of the BFG G-Forces. Do they handle well? Are they quiet? According to BFG's website they are but that's what every tire brand claims.

Thanks

have you tried to test fit those wheels? i mean the offset range is in the Mazda rx7, mitsu evo range. I don't think that's going to work for you. even if you have a sedan.

ur car will look ackward. You'll have to use extremely large spacers to run that, spacers that big don't run cheap!

You'll need some 30~40mm spacers!!

Those are some real high offset wheels!!!

There's no chance in hell they'll fit. The front tire size is WAAAAAAAAAAAAY under stock. And with those offsets, you'll need 40mm spacers all around.

Yea I'm sure I'll need insane spacers but will the car look real awkward with them? Also with a 30-40 mm hubcentric spacer will the bearings (and other parts) still be fine?

I haven't decided if I'm buying the wheels but if I can manage them with spacers without jeopardizing the bearings, my safety, and the looks of the car I don't mind going that route.

This is an Internet deal so I cannot test mount them on the car.
