5Zigen FN01R-C Rims

Hey guys I have decided to go with 5Zigens FN01R-C rims but im not sure what sizes will clear my Z brakes?? When it comes to rims and tires I have no idea what all of the numbers correspond to as far as sizes go, I dont understand what offset is?? Anyways you guys wanna help me out here and suggest what size I should order, I want to have a 17 inch rim that looks flush and clean, thanks. Peace

Ok I want to have wider rims in the rear so could i have 17x8's in the front with a +25 offset, and 17x9's in the rear with +35 offset, or is that not going to fit or look weird in any way??

The rears will be sunken in more than the fronts won't they? +35 is a little high.
