The offset is too high ... You're gonna need to run spacers.

Those are Xi fitment offsets, if you don't have an Xi you will need 15mm spacers. Also, a rear tire that skinny looks goofy on our cars IMHO

the rear tires should be 275/30/19. you shouldn't put a 275 tires on a 8.5" rim as it will bulge on the sides. as 275 tires should be mounted on 9"-10" wide rims. i don't think this set of rims is a good choice for your car.

Unless he has an Xi model, then these will work fine.

True, so these will look funny - the rear tire will be too skinny. I am running 10.5 rears with a DEEP lip
