Pretty ugly wheels, are you using coilovers? If not then i doubt you will have to roll/pull.

with offsets like that, you should be alright. im curious about the width of the front wheel, and the high offset. im not SURE, but you might have problems with the rim hitting the strut setup.

those. are mustang replicas.

Unless you're running some serious camber in the rear, you're definately going to want a pull, overfenders, or flares.

+24 on a 9J in the front will rub coils without at least a 3mm spacer. Rears will be hella sunk with a +27 9.5J.

Yeah, you might need a spacer in the front depending on what kind of coils you have, it won't rub every kind. The rears are 10.5J so with a +27 offset it really won't be sunken at all. It won't be super flush or sticking out too much or anything, but it won't be sunken.
