i have a chance to get a pretty good deal on a set they are 17x8 and 17x9 what problems might i run into ???

 

Rubbing and it might look weird if your car is stock height. silentdancer (of course) had this set up about 7 months ago and it looked good. But your going to need to roll the rear fenders and add some negative camber.

 

I would also stay with narrower tires.

 

235/215 stretch. But if you are not lowered, it will throw off an illusion that it will be sticking out a lot. A LOT.
