wheel fitment question.

I have a stock body fc that I wanna get wheels for, thinking about getting cragar soft 8 rims(17x9) 0 offset. How would they fit/ look? Hoping someone has pics, I'll probably have to roll/pull fenders right?

According to this calculator (http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp), and a 7" wide +38 offset stock wheel, an 8" 0 offset wheel would be over 50mm further out. You can go maybe ~10mm out in the front and ~25mm out in the back before you'll start hitting the fenders.

They wouldn't fit in the front or the back. A 0 offset wheel that is 8" wide will stick out 50mm more than the stock rims. You'd have to severely pull the fenders, or cut and weld in over-fenders. You should buy some rims that will fit.
