Question Wheel Selection..?

i'm in need of opinions/suggestions for wheel selections.. i've been looking around for a set of wheels for my '97 240sx and so far, it's come down to the VOLK GT-U or 5ZIGEN FN01RC.. as for the size of the wheels i'm leaning towards..

Front: 17x8 +25 offset
Rear: 17x9 +35 offset

now, with a setup like this, will i need rolling of fenders or spacers to clear coilovers? ..and please excuse my ignorance, i am new to this!

any other suggestions on wheels or sizes/offsets are greatly appreciated!

Hmmm For the street 17x10 is okay for the front.

Not recommended for racing, because when you turn hard you will hit the inner body of the car.

Do it!!!
