HELP will these wheels fit
Front Size: 18x8.5
Rear Size: 18x9.5
Bolt Pattern: 5x120
Front Lip Size: 2-3/4"
Rear Lip Size: 3-1/2
Front Offset: +35
Rear Offset: +45
i seen these wheels and got the specs on them just wondering if these will fit with out sticking out and also will a 295 rear tire fit on a 9.5 rim thanks

I'm in a hurry so of course I can't find the right link for the OEM wheel offsets.... so, based on my memory 
, I think these offsets are about 20 mm less than the OEM. And, based on my feeble understanding of how that translates into reality, I THINK the wheels would stick out almost an inch compared to stock.
I'm pretty sure the bolt pattern is correct. 295 on a 9.5" wide wheel is not an ideal fitment IMO, but probably can be done (mfr's specs should be the final arbiter there).
I'm sure someone will come along with a more intelligible response. Good luck.

The rears would fit about flush with the fenders.
The fronts would hang out about 1/4".
The offset values are much less than stock wheels, but the widths are less too, so that negates some of the offset loss.
The lip size may present an issue concerning caliper clearance...Can't predict that w/o at least seeing the design of the wheel. Some "fat lip" wheels merely have heavily curved spokes, or spokes that are outboard of the lip surface, and in those cases, can have good caliper clearance
