Hi
I'm interested in getting the 17" Welds on my FD. Stock brakes and Ohlins coilovers. I don't plan on road racing the car. Maybe take it to the drag strip once a year. The size I'm thinking about is 17x8 front and 17x9 or 10 in the rear. I want to put 275 drag radials on it.

Front size I found:
17x8 with 5.8 BS which is +46mm offset (I think the front specs should be fine , Please correct me if I'm wrong??) tire size 245/40/17

The issue is with the rear, these are the available options for our bolt pattern:
9 inches wide:
17x9 with 6.2 BS or +43mm offset
17x9 with 6.0 BS or +38mm offset
17x9 with 6.8 BS or +58mm offset
10 inches wide:
17x10 with 6.3 BS or +33mm offset
17x10 with 7.8 BS or +71mm offset
17x10.5 with 7.5 BS or +57mm offset

what size should I go with? Also most of them come with a medium pad height. is that an issue with our factory brakes?

this is what the wheel looks like:

Front fitment looks fine. I do not have personal experience with that size, but conversation on this forums seems to suggest that will work with no rubbing.

For the rear, the 17x9 with +43mm offset looks best. I'd recommend trying to keep the wheel offsets the same or close, front to rear. Changing the offsets changes the wheel center relative to the car, and a big difference between the front and the back wheel centers will likely mess with your handling.

The 10+ inch wheels with +57 mm and +71mm will no doubt rub the inner parts of the car.
