If you used the 8.5 Rims the offset would only off in the front by ~12 mm or 1/2". IMO that is fine. The 9.5" rears would be off by 25 mm from factory or 37mm from the fronts. I would just use an 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" spacer with those.

I feel really dumb, as I can not get the math to work out (but its gotta be me....sorry)
If Wheel Front Spacing = (width * 25.4) /2 + offset, so for front stockers
(8 * 25.4)/2 + 41mm offset
= 101.6 + 41= 142.6mm
front = 5.6in
so (8.5 * 25.4)/2 + 35mm offset
= 107.95 + 35 = 142.95mm which seems to be a perfect fit.
Given the backs
(9.5 * 25.4)/2 + 35 mm offset = 155.65mm
rears
versus for stock (8 * 25.4)/2 + 13 mm offset = 114.6mm
155.65 - 114.6 = 41.05mm = 1.61 inches (which is close to 1.5" spacer)
41mm - 38mm = 3mm difference with 1.5" spacer which is nothing.
Is there a 1/2 lip on these aftermarket wheels that Im not accounting for?
If so then wouldn't the fronts be off this amount and the backs as well with a spacer?
