the rims will fit.
8" width with a 38mm offset will fit without any problems.
typically on FC3S, if it's a staggered look, the x8" in the front will be a 38mm and the x9" in the rear will be a 35mm. this 3mm offset difference allows the lip/dish on both the front and rear to be the same size, despite the difference in actual wheel width.
as for tires sizes. i'm not sure..but my guess would be 235? maybe 245 in the rear?

Well,
I'm not big with all the new styles and latest style of rims. i really like the rims due to the big lip and the design. So there's really no need for negativity. This is what i like and that's what i'm going to get>

Doesn't that have ill effects on the handling aspects, running a wider wheel and tire in the rear?

Well, i understand the aspects of handling but i just thought the rims would look pretty cool with widebody fenders that i had my eyes on. i really dont think that i want to go with an entire kit so i chose to get the fenders only. but then i thought about the rims so when i ran across these on ebay, i thought that extra wide lip would look great with my plans.
