Wheel/Offset Question

Here's my information. I have a '98 240SX SE. The only suspension mods are Eibach Sportline lowering springs.

I am currently looking for wheels, somewhere in the 17x8 range. I've found a set of wheels that I would like to get that are 17x8 and I have three different offset options: 35mm, 47mm, and 48mm. So my first question is, will 17x8 wheels even fit on the front of my car? And secondly, what offset should I choose out of the three. Also, will there be any need for spacers or anything of the sort?

you can fit 17x9 in the front easy.

out of the 3 weak offsets you have listed. the best is 35.

yes for spacers to make the wheels look better. but if your asking spacers to clear something, then no.
