Which 5zigen wheels? Do you mean 17x8 fronts and 17x9 rears? You want to get offsets that are as close to stock as you can.

stock offset
front - +55, rear - +65

with a 9" rear wheel, you'd want +55 or higher (if you're planning on putting on a 255 tire) this still has a chance of rubbing in the rear.

fronts, you'll need +50 or higher with an 8" wheel (if you're planning on putting on a 225 tire) the fronts are the tricky ones.
