Wheel off set

Just crunching the numbers, I think that'll be a stretch. Here's a pic of my profile with18x8.5j with ET45. Pretty close to flush with the upper arch. If your wheels are also 8.5j wide then you'll be sticking out another 37mm (17mm extra offset + 20mm spacer).
But if the steels are banded, just how wide are they?
9j, with and offset of 28
It doesn’t add up for me. I run 9” wide 38mm offset on the front and they are pretty much flush with the arch.
With those adapters fitted you’ll be running an effective offset of only 8mm! They’re going to stick out a long way. You’ll be 30mm further out than mine!
Yip, so 9j wide, relative to the picture I posted above, the wheels will stick out around 43mm more. I'm fairly sure you'll be running outside the arches.
So they were original space savers with an et28? What dimensions are they since banding?
In case you don't really understand, the et/offset is the dimension from the center line of the wheel to the hub mounting face. The smaller the number, the further it sticks out. If you have changed the width of the wheels, the chances are that the offset will have changed too.

Adapters reduce the offset, they don’t increase it. 20mm adapters will give you an effective 8mm offset.
If you really want these wheels then yes, look into those options, I don’t have any experience of either, but someone on here might be able to offer some advice.
It might be worth starting another thread specifically about re-drilling hubs or wheels if there’s nothing in the search results.
