Wheel question

I need some advice guys. I have a line on some wheels. I have done a search and I can't seem to find the info I need. The wheels I am interested in are 17x8 with a 5x100 bolt pattern. The offset is 35mm and it has 5.9 backspacing. Will this work for the Alfa (My car is a 164L). I am going to have have hubspacers made so that I can fit the 5x100 on my 5x98 bolt pattern. Will this work? What would you advice and what else should I look out for (like center bore info?)?

What you need to do is had rings made from 73 OD to 58.1 ID

Then you need variation bolts and a 5-10mm spacer for the rear wheel to clear the strut. Does not need to be Hub centric as there will be enough hub even with 10mm spacer to hold wheel. But for extra safety you can do that.
I can make all this if needed.

You may want to run a 5 mm spacer on the rear to reduce offset to 30mm. with an 8" wheel it would be nicer. I run a et25 on mine with a 10mm spacer on rear which takes it to et15.
