17X9 all around?
 
Is it possible on a 2nd Gen without any problems?
Running stock suspension but will go shock/spring combo in the future
What are the best offsets for the front and rear if I go this route?
Thanks

You'll need wide fenders in front. Front would need to be around +15 to +18, IMO with coilovers, this would barely clear depending on the camber you're running.

What about 17x8 all around, would there be any problems? Thanks for the info

8" wide no problem.
Fronts I would run about +27 to +30.
You can go as tight as +35.
Rears, you can go down to a +10, but if you want symmetrical set-up, identical offsets front and rear will work.

As for those values that you have provided, that is for x8 all around right? Just wanted to make sure.
What offsets would be best if I went 17x8 and 245 tires all around. Is 245 even safe for the front?

Ted your the man, gotta love them avitars!

If you're looking at identical wheels front to back, then I would try and run 17" x 8" +25 or close to that offset.

I doubt 245's would fit up front.
235's are already kinda tight in the front.
Most 245's won't fit.
Try 225/45/17...

Cool cool thanks Ted...
Gonna try that then, 17x8 all around with +25 offset front and back with 225s in front and 245s in back. Say that!!!!!!!!!
