18x9 & 18x10 GT500 wheels on a Dart with mods. Is it possible?

This is regarding the possibility of fitting some American Muscle GT500 wheels on a 72 Dart with 73 and up front disk brakes and A body 8 3/4 (or even a explorer 8.8) rear and with 3" mini-tub with springs relocated.
Here are the specs:
Front: 18x9 6.2" (157 mm) backspacing / 1.2" (+30mm) offset
Rear: 18x10 7.2" (184mm) backspacing / 1.8" (+45mm) offset

Not set on a tire size yet or if fender lips need to be trimmed and rolled.

Thanks 72BBswinger. If the guy still has these locally when i get paid next I am going to buy them. He has 3 18x10's but they are still cheaper than ordering two of them. All three are new but one got scuffed up during shipment to him so they sent him a new one. It's scuffed up on the backside of the wheel so no one will see it. All I would have to do then is get two for the front and some rubber for all 4. Did you have to trim the wheel lips? I read about your car not to long ago so i know you did the spring relocation and mini-tub but couldn't remember about the wheel lips.
Thanks,
Lee

On a Dart, it is necessary to do both.

Thanks 72BBswinger. Since I saw and read about yours I wanted another to build to look very similar.
