You are better to compare the OEM 17" rims in this case.
front - 17 X 7.5 (~55 offset)
rear - 17 X 8.5 (~65 offset)
Now, looking at the rims from AJ ........................
The fronts are the same as far as diameter and width, so a 43mm offset would stick out further than stock by about 10 mm.
The rears are narrower by 0.5" (12.7mm) and the offset is smaller by about 23mm. Combine these and they will sit about 10mm further from the car than stock.
Therefore, take a look at a car with OEM wheels/tires and imagine that all the tires will stick out about 10mm further or about 0.4". This is also assuming that you go with OEM 17" tire sizing. IMO, not bad.

Let me guess, your getting sa70's?
Wedsport Sa70
However, you should look into getting the advan Rs wheels, they look awesome. And aj has them on special aswell.

I would go with the Advans. I had inquired about them before getting the Volks but seems like a fellow in Seattle bought them and they fit quite nicely. I think there is a pic on the gallery or wheels forum of the Advans.

You might save a few bucks buying used Volks with tires:
