Fords are totally different offset, we tried my old rims 18x9.5 18x8.5 +40 offset on my brothers 71 Mach 1 Mustang and they were touching the inner chassis, in too much by 60~100mm.
If those were 10"+ wide you could work with that but 8's bah i wouldn't bother..
Kanchana is your car lowered? If not the wheels will most tuck in (camber). That's what happened with my old and current Soarers (old Soarer was on 18x8.5"/+38mm lowered about 2.75"... stuck in a LOT, my current Soarer is on 18x8.0"/+40-ish mm and lowered about 2", doesn't look as tucked).

The offset stamps I have seen were just a single number, on their own.
Measure the distance from the inside face of the wheel hub to the centreline of the rim. I think someone has already put up a handy diagram of this or else you should find one on the web easily enough.
On here, I suggest searching for "measure offset" or something like that.
Basically, the closer the hub is to the centreline, the lower your offset.

Sounds like you'd be better off passing them on and getting something that fits properly. If they stick out that much handling will be arse, even if you do get the tyres to clear the arches.
i have a funny feeling I will be....huh they were hot
am gonna still try them on mine just to make sure, and probably a mates skyline and ford and anything else they fit. that way i can advertise them for those models. ill keep you guys posted because ill be selling them at a bargain price
