Which offset for my FC?

I am looking to get the 5Zigen Typhoons for my FC in 17x8 up front and 17x9 in the rear. I also plan to get wider 30mm wider fenders for the front and rear.
Which offset should I get for the:
Front out of: +25, +37, +43

Rear out of: +15, +35, +43

What tires would be best? Would the wheel sizes above rub the inner fenders, would it work on my car(i am going to be lowering it too, with tein or GP sports coilovers)?
I am new to tire and offset sizing, so please don't be too harsh.

Thanks,

J

with 30mm fender flares your gonna want the lowest offset they offer. plus wheel spacers. an 8 inch wheel in front sits perfect with a 35mm (or so) offset, so if you add flares, that drops to 5mm for the same fit. same idea with the back.

So, I should go about +35 to start in the rear too?

Thanks,

35 is a good offset without the flares. if you have 30mm fender flares, youre gonna want an offset near zero. (35mm-30mm = 5mm)
so for those sizes you listed, you'll want the lowest offset they offer (25 front, 15 rear?), and wheel spacers. the rears can stick out a little more than the fronts. w/o flares these will stick out a little, but with em you're good to go.

also you probably dont want gp coilovers. thats a track only suspension (unless you have iron kidneys that is)
