Default Will these fit?

SSR Type C

17" X 7.5 Rims. PCD 5 X 114.3 Offset +32

17 X 8.5 Rims PCD 5 X 114.3 Offset +40

I'm thinking the offsets are too low.... Can someone confirm if these will work?

Stock height, sure but don't take any hard corners or hit any bumps

I'd say no it's not worth it unless it's a REALLY good deal and you can just flip them to somebody else and make a few pennies.

Well, the car will be lowered approx 1" on Spoon/Showa dampers.

Which would be more prone to rubbing? Front or Rear? Would rolling the fender help?

No. Those offsets are just too low. They'll be sticking out of the fenders by like 5-10mm.

No. They are horrible offsets. Trust me, spend the extra money and get better offsets. The rears suck and the fronts suck for offsets.

Even with the Cwest front fenders thats pushing it with a 7.5 +32 front. Varis I am not sure.
I would seriously not go lower with your (OEM fenders) then a +45 17x7.5 front. Rear I would go minimum of +48 on a 17x8.5. But in all honesty I would stay above +50 in the rear at all costs.
