make sure the fitment is okay, make sure #1 that they are the real deal, make sure they are not damaged. Ideally a 10" is meant for a 275 to be a square wall. On a 9.5 a 265 would be about square wall.

$1300 for this set is a very goo deal, but it looks like the rim on the left has a pretty bad chip in it…

Not really, unless you are the kind of zilvia like guy who likes to run 215s on a 9" rim lmao

Here’s a 275/40/17 setup on a 17x9.5+12 on a 2G DSM

That’ not a chip that’s where the valve stem goes.

Find out the offsets, all the numbers are written on the back of the wheel.

Also what kind of car would you be putting them on, I’m guessing 240 but just checking.

I have a set of these wheels in 18x8 and 18x9 +25 offset both, with an 8mm spacer they fit well on an s13.

The lower the offset the more lip you get, so try for at least +25 or lower I don’t know about the different disk faces offered tho but you can look those up I guess.
