OFFSET? 17x8(f) - 17x9(r) +38
I've got 16x8 offset+30 all around in my T2. Perfect in the back (8" wide rear wheels so no use to you here). The front is a bit wide. I'd get +35 offset to tuck them in. This is with the stock springs in place. I'm not sure if +38 offset will work with 9" wide wheels in the back. But 9s will fit back there with no problem from what I've seen. This is with either 255 or 265/40R17 back there. 235/45R17 works up front too.
It's very close though.  If you really want them, get some spacers.  I like ideal for an 8" rim up from to be in the +30 to +25 range.  This means you're only off by 8mm to 13mm.  I have info on spacers on my page.

I run a +40 and +37 and +35 and +31's on each of my FC's and have had no problems. The +38 seems to be a great fitment from my experience. You'd need to run a 225/45 at the most and really depends on your tire selection as well.
I would actually say that both the front and rear are quite good fitments. You're right in the pudding with those widths and offsets. hehe.
Good luck, Rishie
I can show pics of my cars with these fitments as well. Will take a couple days though as they're not all in one place. hehe.
