Offset is fine
You do not need new lug bolts
Stock lug bolts will work.

I am just curious what you are doing with just two wheels.

@slinger688 well for your info picked up the rims and tires tonight and the stock lugs(more like skrews)do not fit !only had a mini a week now and had no clue that they have skrew bolts insted of lugs ! So, All I have to do is buy a small bolt to fit in the rims hole correct people ?

There are three choices:

There is a lug stud conversion kit you can buy from WMW that will fit. The holes are for the older 12MM x 1.5 mm and the newer Minis are 14mm x 1.25 mm thread.

Or you can drill them.

Or you can get some tuner lug bolts with the smaller heads. The wheels should come with them.

My track friends have Motegi SP10s and there is no problem with their fit.
