Wheel size help please?! ASAP!!

Currently debating on 17x8 (+43) and 17x9 (+35) rims. They're quite the drive away, so I have to confirm they wi for before biting the bullet. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

My car is an 86 rx7 GXL. It's on stock suspension but I'll be lowering it on kyb agx with ground control springs in the next few months.

Looking for a guarantee before I buy them. Agin any help will be appreciated.

On a j8 at +30 I am basically rubbing the lower spring mount. A +20 bolt on spacer would make that fit.

That depends on the tire width, which has not been posted.
