With respect to offset, don't expect to be able to buy wheels for another 
car and have them fit properly on a Pantera.   17x9 Mustang wheels, for 
instance, are too wide in the front and too narrow in the rear.   You will 
want/need to buy Pantera-specific wheels, either those available from a vendor, or 
you'll have to have wheels custom-made to the appropriate specifications.

Wait until your car shows up (congrats again!) and then you can pull and 
measure your own wheels to determine how you want your new ones to fit.

What does it currently have?
