Anyone know roughly how they would sit?
Looks good but the thin spokes means you need good brakes to complete the look. You have an STI so that won't be a problem.

That aggressive an offset will rub. You will run into troubles, especially with the rear guard "lip". Probably have to have a reasonable amount of height on the suspension, stiffer suspension, stretched tyres, heaps of camber, guard, work, or any combination of those things.

I ran a 17x9 +48 with 245 tyres and they barely fit. Had to give up the "slammed" look and had about 1.5 deg camber in the back.
