Default 30mm Offset for 03 Mach?

Hey I need the help of all you wheel guru's out there. I finally found some wheels for my 03 mach 1 that interest me. They are the 2010 Black Gt500 wheels. My question is how would the fitment look with these specs. I'm not too concerned with rubbing more of just the look of the fenders if these would be sticking too far out or in. Any feedback will be great.
These are the specs
Size: 18x9
Back Spacing: 6.2" (157mm)
Offset: +30mm (1.2")
Bolt Pattern: 5x4.5" (5x114.3mm)

Those will be fine

In fact, I am glad you posted this here as I was in General section earlier and someone linked the same wheels in ***THIS*** post. I mis-read the AM page and thought they were 10" wheels. As a 9" wheel, the off-set will be fine.

As for fitment, I would expect them to be about 1/4" deeper under your ride than an average 9" wheel meant for your ride. The "normal" off-set is +24mm and at +30mm you will be just a tad deeper.

Pretty sad that the Tire/Wheel moderator was incorrect on fitment, huh

Ok cool thanks. Thats what I was thinking but wanted to get the experts opinion first. I was figuring if they were too far in for my liking I could always get 1/4" wheel spacers if need be. I wish someone already had these to see what they look like but I think I'll be the guinea pig. I wanted to get some FR500 wheels but seems like everyone has those so I'm going with these. Thanks again for the info.
