I know the offset is really low for fd but do you think i could get away with it (how far would they stick out etc)

*Awaits barrage of fitment haters * :D

I reckon you\'d be fine on the front, but would rub a tad on full lock
Rears are a fair bit harder though - no way with a 255, but possibly with something slimmer and a roll and possibly small flare you\'d be ok :)

oooh, they\'re nice...

Agree with SiH, some arch work needed there, I\'d think

i have 9.5j rears with 25 offset and my arches are rolled to the limit. with these you will definately need to roll & flare the arches - this will unfortunately mean you will need to spray the rear quarters too as a flare like that will damage the fd\'s thin skin.

Depending on the paint colour and type, it\'s possible to roll without damaging the paint, if you use a good person to roll your acrches. Check out Phil at //www.archenemy.co.uk
I\'d trust him more than most other people when it comes to fitment.
This:

Is a 9.5j et20 running a 255, and doesn\'t rub.A lot of wheel fitment depends on tyre width rather than just wheel width. I\'d get the lip rolled, see how you get on, if you get rubbing then look at a narrower tyre :)
