Wheel buying help?

The bolt pattern is right. But they are very aggressive. Might require some serious camber and stretched tires to fit without rubbing.
This guy ran 18x9.5 +23 with a pretty narrow tire. He never said if he rubbed or not though.

It was the closest fitment I could find to what you had posted but yes, it'll be 1/4" less wide on either side. That's not much difference but it's a little. Also 1mm inboard and the 23 vs 24 offset.

Well, he never said if he rubbed or not or how hard. So, it depends. I bet that he rubbed a lot.

There is an RPF1 18x9 +22 listed that rubbed a bit until they rolled their fenders. They were on a 2" drop with 225/40 tires. I personally would not run anything narrower than a 225 width tire on a 9" wheel but that is up to you. Some people stretch a 205 onto wider wheels than that. I think it unsafe but that is personal choice.

What is your current suspension setup, or are you on the stock suspension?I know nothing about wheel specs and I was just wondering would these wheels fit? The guide isn't working right on tapatalk.

pro is like a 1.2" drop
sportlines 1.8" drop
You'd be about 1/4" less pushed out towards the fender than what you see below
specs-18x9.5 +23
tires-215-35-18

I think you will have a lot of issues with the 18x10. The +50 and the width might be realllllll tight on the inside and possibly rub the strut.
I think @FG4 Pjay is running quite a wide wheel though. 18x9.5 +35 I think.
Also, why such a wide wheel?

If he's a really good buddy, ask if you can swing by his house and test fit them. I think you may find they are going to be a problem. I could be wrong but I would highly suggest doing that if you can.
