will this setup work on a fd?
 

17 x 8 w/ +32 offset in front, 17 x 9 w/ + 38 offset in back. car will be lowered about 1.5 inches all around. thanx in advance-garrett

It would be better to pick wheels that fit better. The rears will work but the fronts will be very iffy.

Garfinkle has 17 x9 with 38 offset front 17x9 with 43 offset in the rear. Tires are 17x40x235 front -17x40x275 rear. The car is lowered several inches . No rubbing ever. If you lower only 1.5 inches then my quess is you will be good to go. Go where, go get a woman .
