57C Gram Lights offset?

Hi, I'm looking for the Offset for an FD with Gram lights 57C with 17X8.5 in front and 17X9.5 in the rear.

Please, and thank you

Oh and would 17X9.5 all around work?
Without having to Roll the fenders?

+43 and higher front and back.

17x9.5 will work up front with 255/40. You shouldn't rub but it will depend on the offset and your suspension setup.

RotorFrank: What is your offset, BTW? And I should have mentioned this earlier, you'll need an offset of +45 minimum to fit the 17x9.5s and 255/40s up front; +43 for a 17x8.5 wheel.
