First Rim purchase... Need help on offsets.
One of my close friends offered me an insane deal on his rims. There 5-zigen pro racer GN's powder coated. The sizes are 17 x 8.5 +10 front and 17 x 9.5 + 22 in the rear. He says they work on Fc's but will they fit the FD. I've searched about offsets but I'm still weary as I always hear of way bigger numbers on the FD.

I thought you were going to sell your car ;)
Yes, they will fit: depending on fender modification (maybe a mild roll), alignment settings and tire size. |
Camber + skinny tire + suspension + fender roll and they will fit.

Well I'am lowered as well but if I roll my fenders I should have no problem right?

Here's a 17x9 +17 (not my car, this is from an old thread):

Well, ultimately, it's your car. I don't think those wheels "fit" a stock bodied FD. However, my definition of "fit" may be different than yours.
|
As far as the rears go will they have to be rolled? I don't mind :)
Only thing I'm worried about is inner wheel rub with the inner wheel wells. I have super angle tie rods and the wheel cut is pretty steep. |
You'll definitely need to roll the fenders, if not give them a little pull. Most of that will depend on how much camber you can dial in and how skinny of a tire you use to "make it fit".
