Default what u guys think of these rims

hey all!
i'm trying to get me a set of new rims and just wanted to know what u all think.
http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/5zigen/5zigen.html

the one i want are the FN-01R-C

(2) 17x8
(2) 17x9
(2) 225/45/17)
(2) 245/45/17)

you guys think i'll be getting issues with rubbing? and what are the offsetts should i be looking at. i'm assuming the sales person will help me out but u never know.

i think the 17x8 fronts may be an issue so i'm also considering getting the 17x7 front.
let me know!!

i think you are right.. we need 50+ offsets.. i'm also looking for wheels.... and i've heard anything under 50+ offsets might rub if you are dropped... i think you'll be able to get away with 48+ offset... might want to post this in the other forum that deals with wheels/tires..

I think offset is too high, I was looking at 5Zigen and they don't recommend on S2000.
