Question Wide Rims

Hi, just after a few opinions on rim widths. I'm looking at possibly getting new set and i'm looking at some in the states the fronts are 18 x 9 with 25mm back space and the rears are 18 x 10 with 22mm back space.
Firstly will they fit width wise front and rear?
and if anyone has done anything similar what spacers and or backspace did you have on the rims?

Thanks for the help / advise

225 tyre with a 0 offset and have to run a 2mm spacer, if i run a 215 tyre it would be right (cant remember which seize rim it is, but rim fits nicely
