Rims Width, will these fit?

OK so I found a VERY good deal on some new rims, they are 17 X 8.5 with a 25mm offset. Based on Ted's (BTW - Thanks Ted) website, I will need a backspace of of .1595?

Will they fit? I don't know nothing about wheels, but 25MM sounds kind of low!

Any help will be apreciated, since I am already in love with these rims!

Ask this over in the suspension section, A2RD or something like that will know for sure, our stock offset is somewhere between 38-40mm (depending on who says) a 25mm offset sounds close for 17x8 but with that extra .5 I think they will hit in the front. I'm not sure though.

It's off by 4mm on "ideal".&nbsp You can fudge the offset by +/-5mm, so it's going to be close, depending on how wide of a tire you run...
