my body kit is not that wide like other. its pretty close to fender flairs about 1" to 1.5 inch wider than stock. how about off set? will it be fine?

You can run 18x10" wheels in back with stock fenders and suspension, 9.5 with wider fenders is going to look a little puny.
If the fenders are an inch wider in the back, you could run 18x11 with an approximate +40 offset with 295/30 18 tires. In the front, I would run 18x9 or 9.5 with 255/35 or 265/35 tires, offset would again be +40 or so.
If you are set on 18x8.5/18x9.5, then anything down to a +25 offset will be fine. You should know that running wheels with offsets significantly lower than the stock +50 will affect suspension geometry and increase wear on the wheel bearings.
