Default FN01R-C fitment?

I have searched for wheels I want for my S and have arrived at these 5Zigen's. I wanted to make sure they are the right offset and everything. Of course, I want them to sit flush with my fenders. The car is lowered with Skunk 2 springs (approx 2 inches I guess) I am looking at getting:

17"x7 +42 or +48

and

17x8 +43

Is this okay for my setup? would 42 or 48 offset be better for the front?

The offset is pretty low front and rear. It may require a fender lip roll and negative camber depending on the size of the tires.
If I can help with the tires let me know.

which offset is better for the front? Are you saying the wheels will come out wider than the fenders?

If I were you I'd go with 17X8 and 17X9. But that's only if your up to rolling your fenders.

These are what you are asking about.
17x7 +48 with a 225 tire
17x8 +43 with a 255 tire
This was an old setup of mine. I was running 1.5* camber front and 2.5* camber rear. Front and rear had a full roll with the rear bumper tabs removed.
