Wheel fittment questions

I've got an opportunity to buy some nice bbs wheels for a good price. But I'm not sure if they will fit the front of my fc. They're 17x8.5 with a 30mm offset. I was curious if anyone knows if they will fit without much modification

Although I am also new, I may be of some assistance.

You should not have any trouble fitting a 8.5" wide wheel with +30 offset in the depths of which are our fender wells. What you really need to verify is if they are the correct lug pattern, and at what ride height you are sitting at, at the moment.

Good luck! Hope the deal is a good one, BBS are fairly rare when they are legitimate BBS wheels.

Thank you. I was worried they would be too wide in the front. I'm positive the lug pattern is correct though. There wouldn't be any issues with tires mounted in the wheels? Like say they are a bigger profile tire

If your ride height is at stock, and the tires aren't ridiculously large profile, you should be fine.
