Well how much more front spacing will you get in the front? With coilovers and a nine inch wheel your minimum offset should be around a +0 to +5 offset. That will allow a couple degrees of negative camber with the average 9" wide wheel.

Simply based on using a +30 offset 8" wide wheel as a baseline. Push it out another 25mm and you've got your minimum offset required for a 9" wheel.

Rishie

I got a phat deal on my work wheels in similar offsets. email me if you want more advice. I saved well over a thousand dollars by getting the Works over some Kinesis, Fikse, or I-forged custom wheel. rishiegarg@hotmail.com

I "had" a set of Regamaster Evo 17x9 +18 offset that were perfect for running in the front with the corksport front fenders. You could run a lil lower offset like Rishie said but i was concerned with rubbing at full lock and that sorta thing. With 17x9 +18 you have 5" backspacing which is like 1-2" space from the coilovers... plenty of room.
