Will These Fit?

Will These Fit?
I own a 2008 subaru impreza 2.5i Sedan. I like the way these wheels look and i now have a brand loyalty to Kosei because of the current rims i have. I want to prepare for the future and try to get these after my 36k mile. :-)
I know I will need to fender roll to get the 18x8.5 on. the link below will show you the rims but please let me know based on the specs:
Diatmeter: 18
Width: 8.5
Offset: 50mm ?????
Backspacing: 6.69" ?????
Bolt Pattern: 5x100
Rec. Tire Size: 225/40-18
Weight: 19.6lbs.

From this thread, it doesn't look like they will fit.

Why is wheel offset important? Wheels using improper offsets can cause damage or accelerated wear on suspension components or body panels. Correct Impreza wheel offsets are:
Width ........ Offset
6.5" ....... +53 to +55
7.0" ....... +50 to +53
7.5" ....... +47 to +50
8.0" ....... +43 to +47

wheel dude has 18x8 at 48 offset and 18x8.5 at 48 as well. it might be possible that a 50 offset might be fine?

no reply from luke regarding this, but i went ahead and purchase 17x8 rota torques from a fellow i-clubber and it looks like unlowered my 08 2.5i sedan fits with perfect clearance. the offset is decently high on my torques. i think its what they sell from wheeldude.
