Just bought myself some Work Emotion CR Kais 17x9 +28.
I bought them to run on my Rx8 which will run flush, but i was curious how flush they would be with my FC. the tires can be changed but ordered them with 245/45s
My FC is lowered on Stance coilovers and running about -2 degrees camber.
Let me know

205 is a baby stretch on a 8.5 have you looked? Its better to have a little stretch on the front to contour to the finder there is not a lot of room to roll it. I'm contemplating 10s all around, now thats something to calculate poindexter. You'll be fine... Most people think that if they do even the lightest stretch there tire is going to fall of. and a 225 on a 8.5? I think your going to need to roll your fender ether way. Plus I thought that wheel fitment (in general) was to get rid of the wheel gap from the stock rims to shape out the car.

i am in the process of re-finishing a set of mid 90's work equips.
all four are 17x9 with a +35 offset.
for the rears i wanted to go with maybe a 255 or 265
as for the fronts, i am unsure. i wanted to use a 245 but according to this thread they will rub on the front. with this offset do you think i will have much trouble?

The front will hit suspension for sure, especially coilovers. You will likely need a 15-20mm spacer to make it work. You will need to run camber, pull the fenders, and rock a 215/45/17 up front unless you get wider front fenders.
The rear you can do up to a 255/40/17 no problem.

Here is what I'm planning to get:
17X8 +35mm
17X9 +35mm
I was told by many people that this would fit perfectly.
Anyone know what is the max/min offsets are for 9" rims in the back? Some of the wheels that I'm still looking at has bigger offsets and it looks like you can fit wheels with bigger offsets in the back than front...

Jason, like Josh said you will need spacers. My 17 x 9 +22 RPF-1's fit perfectly up front with Shine 20mm fenders and 245's, and 17 x 10 +18 rears fit perfectly in the rear with a roll on 275's.
I'd suggest 25mm spacers all around, you'll still be higher offset than mine, but I am on stock suspension and you likely have more clearance with the Stance's

Good idea bud, I'd keep an eye out for around the +20-25 range. I think +22 is a semi-popular offset for 9" RPF-1's. If you're looking to buy new, Rishi at Auto RnD (ARD_T2 or something forum name) has good prices and Canada-friendly shipping, I'd hit him up.

I don't now if Rishie has any more RPF1's in that size hanging around anymore 
Should fit perfectly, but you might want less offset to increase suspension - wheel clearance, especially if you decide to run 235's or 245's up front.
Max offset for 9" rears is relative depending on the size of tire you're running. At around +38 and above, 275 sized tires will deflect into the muffler heat shields on cornering. Less with a thinner tire and/or lower offset wheel. Lowest offset without flaring fenders is around +24 (running -1 deg of camber). It's recommended that you roll the fender lip up to protect the tires.

I'm running enkei rpf1. 17×9 @ 35 offset, I running a 255/40/17 tire all the way around with shine auto front fenders and a 1.8° camber. No rubbing issues yet. You def need to rock 1 inch front spacers and arp longer studs at the front. Car handles amazingly so far with this setup. All grip baby!!!!
