FD Wheel Offset with 17x8F and 17x9R

I currently have a set of 5Zigen FN01R-c wheels on my TII....and I am selling my TII and I believe these wheels will not fit on my FD. They are 17x8F and 17x9R +35mm offset all around. They fit perfect on my TII with KYB Struts and Racing Beat Springs....but will they fit on my FD with Tein HE Coilovers? I have them for sale currently...but I know I will be buying the exact same wheels for my FD when these wheels sell...I may go with a 17x9F and 17x10R...or I may stick with the 17x8F and 17x9R....or I may run 17x9F and 17x9R. It all depends really...but I am just curious about the fitment issue before I sell these wheels and then find out they would have fit.

Thanks,
Scott

They will fit but it will be very close up front for rubbing the fenders. They will probably catch on the fender lips entering driveways. Also, a 17x8 is pretty skinny for an FD.

You really should be looking at +40 and up offsets for FDs. If you are dead set on that exact wheel, then I would get four 17x9 +43 offsets. Call your dealer to verify that the wheels will clear the front brake calipers. You may also have to run a conservative lowering with your coil-overs, depending on your exact car.
