Unless you have widetrack hubs or pcd adaptoprs they won't fit. Also, you would need ALOT of arch work to get something with that width and offset to fit. With PCD adaptors you would need arch extensions as well as extensive arch work.
They are very nice wheels though

There may well be but, they probably have a pcd of 5x100 and could also be a more covenient offset and width
Also, bug and blob arches are the same size and I have 18x9.5" et38 and they stick out slightly further than the arch. a 10" width would stick out 12mm further plus the extra 20mm because of the offset. If you then need to have a hub adabptor you could end up with the wheels 50mm further out from the arch than what is (in my opinion) acceptable

They are the exact size you mentioned in your 1st post. The difference are that the car they are on has 5x114.3 hubs therefor doesn't require pcd adaptors and has rear arch extensions.
Look at the 3rd picture and imagine the front wheels an extra 15-20mm out and the rear the same, and without the arch extensions. They would stick out alot

To swap the hubs you will also need to change the brake discs, calipers, pads and suspension, maybe also the drive shafts but I'm not sure about that.
For arch extensions you're best off finding somebody who is breaking a late blob or hawk sti, you will also need the rear bumper

If you're changing the driveshafts Im pretty sure you need to change the diff. At least this is the case when I looked at swapping a classic to 5x114.3.
