planning to get spoon front and rear overfenders.
does anybody know what size is the prefered rim size?

I am planning to get Volk CE 17x8 in the front and 17x9 in the rear if possible.

17x9 +45s will sit flush on oem rear fenders without "excessive" camber, so I would guess 17x9 +27 or somewhere around that offset for the rears. You will be able to run that in the front and run non stagger tires as well.

I'm not too sure, but I doubt it's far from it.

i'll give you the best answer possible, as I recently installed some rear over fenders(cut/weld panel)..

For the best fitment and clearance, you have to consider the following: How much camber do you want to run? ride height? tire brand/size?
