I think I have found some wheels that I am ready to buy, just need to make sure this front offset will fit. I crunched the numbers and this looks to be right on the edge.

The wheels...17 x 8 +25 offset on the front. The rears I know will fit because they are +39 and 9" wide. I would prefer not to have to roll the fenders but I think I will have to. I am also very lowered (H&R) and would like to run a 235-245 tire.

Does anyone have these offsets or similar that can shed some light on it. I'd prefer personal experiece because I don't like basing expensive purchases on what people guess is ok. Pics of similar set-ups would be preferred.

I know there are tons of wheel threads that are similar but I couldn't find any with this offset.

they will fit but it will be very close on a stock car. on your very lowered car maybe. im running 18x8.5 (+25) fronts and its fine with slight rubbing when the car bottoms out.

i think youll be ok

Do you have any pics I can see? Could you take one that focus' on the front wheel fitment? I would really appreciate it because I am about to buy these wheels.

EDIT: also, what size tire are you running?

Do you have any shots along the side of the car to see how the wheel sits in relation to the fenders? I think I will be placing this order tonight if I can convince myself it's a good idea. lol I haven't spent this much money at one time since I did body work.
