sorry..pic didn't show up when I posted earlier. Have you tried posting in the wheels section? May have better traffic in there for this type of thing. What wheels are those anyway?

That car is not on stock suspension.(yep lowered as you said)
You can vary the offset and it all depends on if you want to roll the fenders to fit the wheels.
Also if you want staggered fitment the offset will vary for both the front and rear..calipers need to clear too.Stock suspension or Coilovers?It matters.
about 17x8 30 offset sounds about right,But I would check the wheels section too.

Put the wheels on now, if you lower the car and they are touching the fender have them rolled.
