Will 17X8.5 Offset 50 fit for the front?

Thinking to get the 17X9 et65 for my rear... so, thinking of what the 17X8.5 offset 50 could be used in the future....

If I'm not mistaken that will be very tight. You might need to use a slightly narrower tire. Are you lowered?

Your best option is a 225 tire, which will barely work on a 8.5" wheel, but will look funny IMO. 7.5" or 8" is ideal.

I also think the 8.5 wheel on the front is going to be tight no matter what tire you use. The best size would be the 225 and hope it works.
