8inch front and 9inch rear wheel offsets for 2nd Gen Need Help

is anyone running these wheels sizes on a 2nd Gen
17X8 wheel front.
17X9 wheel rear.

I already ordered my wheels but I can have them change the offset if I let them know by monday.

I picked +35 offset for front and back. now Im starting wounder if they will fit with out spacers!!!

the front is what Im most worried about.

so is anyone else running 8's inthe front with +35 offset?
I know our stock wheels for turbos are
16x7 +40 ( 177.8mm / 2 ) +40 = 128.9
so
17x8 +35 ( 203 / 2 ) + 35 = 136.6
and the differce is 7.7mm or .30 inch

what do you guys think problem or no problem ?????




now the rear
17X9 +35 ( 228.6 / 2 ) + 35 = 149.3mm
Im sure they will fit no problem becuase
FD wheels will fit in the rear without a spacer
16x8+50 ( 203 / 2 ) + 50 = 151.6mm

I really dont want to run spacer

This would be some valuable info. Where has ARD T2 gone? I think he would know. Here are the wheels I want to get I think with the same sizes as you are getting. I remember ARD T2 told me the 35mm offset if I remember right.

I want the top ones. If I could fit 9.5s in back with some 275s that would be perfect.
