Why not just go test fit them on your car. You can see how much they will stick out and look.

The rear fenders will need to be rolled, that is if the offsets will even work.

How much space is there between the rim and the fender? You might need to roll your fenders. IMO i wouldn't put them on if they stuck out that much, but to each his own.

depending on the offset, you might need to run a little camber as well..

they stick out a whole inch? if you're deadset on running them, throw on some stretchy 225 series tires, get some stiff coils and run a little negative camber.

There's just no functionality having a set of wider wheels in the rear - maybe a little bit of function if you run them in the front...but kind of dumb looking if you do that as well...

I mean, who wants to rotate staggered wheels? It would be unnecessary to waste money on a new set of tires because of uneven wear from the lack of tire rotation. It may look good for a little while, but it's just not sensible in the long run. But if you don't "give a shit" and want to pretend you drive a RWD car when everyone knows it's not, then I guess.
