With symmetrical wheels, the rears on an FC are INSET more than the fronts, so you definitely want more width or positive offset in the back for a flush or staggered look.
So more like +25 in the front and +20 in the rear for same width wheels. If the wheels are more like 8 inches wide in the front and 9-10 inches wide in the back (staggered), +20 in the front and +25 in the back will work and look fine (front fenders might need some rolling).

I have 17 x 8 +20's on the front with 235/45 tires...they protrude about 1/2".
Fender lips are rolled and the tires rarely make contact.
+25 would be much better.
That set up works and fit very nicely in the back though.
