Default Will these wheels fit my current GT and tire size?

My current wheels
are 18x10's with a 41 offset.
The tires are 275/40/18

These wheels are 18x9.5 with a 42 offset. Five spoke. (there are two diff options on wheels..18x9.5 is what I am looking at)
Would they fit on my stang? And how would my current tires fit these new wheels?
They suggest 285/40/18 tires so I don't know how my current tires would fit.

Take a look at them...
Heres the link.

185? DAMN, that's a skinny tire! I'm thinking that was a typo..

And yes, 275's should fit a 9.5" rim..

I don't know much about finishes.
Will this finish hold up on me or am I looking at it scratching or messing up easily?

I would think you should be fine. I can't imagine how rocks/gravel would get at a wheel.. I mean, think about it.. All the rock chips on your car are caused by either road debris hitting the front end of your car, or by your tires kicking **** up at the fenders/quarters, right? How often do you think you'll be able to throw a rock from your tire into your wheel? That would be like the magic bullet in the Kennedy assassination.. LOL


Not to mention that Enkei are quailty wheels..
