Wheel Fitment Check

Hi,
Im about to purchase some rims for my JDM 88 FC3S GT-X, They're 3-piece volks and I really want them. Anyways, details are as follows, just want to know if they will fit without too much drama:

FRONT PCD 114.3 OFFSET.+46 5HBB
REAR PCD 114.3 OFFSET.+41 5HBB
Front 235/45/17
Rear 255/40/17

How larger spacers will I need (if any?) Will they fit at all or should I forget it?


Thanks for the help!

Ryan

~15 mm if i do my math right, but they are 3 piece, right? instead of going with spacers, why dont you just get a lower offset?

EDIT: how much do you plan to lower it (if at all?)

They're 2nd hand rims I can get really cheap. I don't have the money to get new ones or replace things right now..
My car is pretty low (note: stock front suspension is in place in this picture, back is the aftermarket) :


Should I forget about buying these rims or will I be able to get away with safe (smallish) spacers do you think?

The rims already on your car look very cool to me.

What's the rim width???
If it's anything more than 7" wide, they won't fit.
