17x7.5?

I know some of you are using 16X7 wheels on your SE's, but I'm wondering if there will be any issues with using a 17X7.5 40+ on my SE---mainly the front? I'm plan on going with a 205/40/17 tire on the front. The back I'm not sure yet.

if you have coilovers you should be fine, if not you will need a spacer on the front to clear the spring. im running 17x7 38+ with 205/40/17 tires and a 1/4" spacer to clear the front springs

Thanks rotospeed. How much clearance do you have between the tire out the outer fender? Can you post a pic of the side and rear views? Can I get these spacers at like autozone?
