Will these wheels fit?

I just got done doing a search, but I couldn't find the information I was looking for. I want to get a set of Sparco NT-R's for my 91 T2. I know the factory wheel size is 16x7 at a 40mm offset. The Sparco wheels are 17x8 at 42mm offset and 17x9 at 35mm offset. Those are the only offsets offered that I can find. From my math, the fronts should be a 1/2" wider on the inside and outside compared to the stock wheel, give or take an 1/8". The rears would be 7/8" more to the inside and about 1 1/4" wider to the outside. Just eyeballing my car, it doesn't look like they'd fit to well in the rear. Would I be better off going with 17x7 at 45mm in the front with the 17x8's in the rear? The 17x7's would be just shy of 3/4" more to the inside and is just over a 1/4" to the outside.

I got it about 5 or 6 weeks ago, got a 91 with 147k miles on it for $1600. The front end and front driver side fender were pretty messed up and the passenger side fender was bent a little. no front end frame damage, just the fiberglass bumper and a couple brackets. the passenger rear quarter has a scrape on it and that's it for body damage. the power belts don't work, but they're stuck back and the driver side lock doesn't work with the key. the engine is also a pretty new mazda reman, it's REALLY clean. i'm back in the T2 club though
