if you can get them to do a test fit with the rim or even better with rubber on to see if it is the right offset for the car and dosn't rub on anything.

when my friend told me the price for it, he said somethin like that i have to take the front guard off or somethin -_-

Well if you have to take out guards to fit rims on then look for another set.

eddii the rim in that pic would be a wider rim than a 7.5 or 8. in order to get that much dish you would need a wide rim, say at least a 9 inch with a tough (read low) offset. That rim looks like the 19 x 9.5 with an offset of +25-28. We all know something like that wont fit with some serious guard and fender work.

but u think the 18x8 would fit a fto?

The 18s will fit as that's what Ben runs and I use the 17x8
you just need to get the right offset and maybe spacers.

im checking the "tyre bible" whats the offset lol or someone can explain to me before i found it

For somthing like the rims you are after I think (not 100%) you would be looking around the +38 - +40 area. But don't quote me on it it's just a ruff gess.

It should be stamped into the back of the rims.

dish - the amount of dish depends on offset. the lower your offset the bigger dish you will have. a wider rim (eg. 8/9inch wide) will also have an effect on dish.
offset -18x8 rims with the usual +35/34/37 bob jane tmart offset can allow 3-5cm of dish from when i did some calling around a while ago, depending on spoke design.
offset should be stamped on the back of the rim. if not its on a sticker with the size and width of the rim.

you may have to remove the plastic guards behind the wheel arches if your car is preety low
