I have just aquired some 10.5"rear 8.5"frontx16" Splitrim Minilites will they fit??

I bought a job lot including a 4.6 block, a JE bored out plenum with ECU, something to get it a bit on the nippy side!!

No idea, but that lot should keep our interest for a while.

Gonna look like a blinkin dragster

I have 9" rears, and they're just flush with the wheel arches.

Your wheels may have a different offset, so it's a suck it and see.

Even with a different offset they will hit the fuel tank and tie rod. Sort that out and they will hit the wheel arch.

well my 400se has 9jx16 and it has a spacer of about 5mm on the rears running 245/50/16 tyres and that is really as big as you can go or the tyres hit the tank or wheel arch...

Just out of interest i love minilites and it will look the business, but being honest a car as small as a wedge does not need wheels that big!!!! and if its a road car it will drive like a pig when you white lines!! but if your like me you will probably sacrifice driveabillity for looks, i have 11" rims on the back of my e30 v8!!
