Ok guys heres what i got 17" GS 10 spoke wheels they dont seem to sit as far in as the stock 16s, i was thinking 5mm up front and 20mm out back does that sound right?
I do plan on lowering this car 1.75-2"

exactly what he said, 5mm in the front may be too little, you might have to run a +20mm in the front and rear. Good luck.

thanks i guess didnt even think about mesuring it, i'll just do that because its def not even close to being where it needs to be in the back and the front is almost there, so with the same spacer on F&R it def wouldnt work.

i think your wheels are in the same ball park as the 2GS 17s fit wise width and offset considered. chew on this.

17x8+50 and 17x7.5+45 puts the wheel in the exact the same spot (well ~1mm less). I have 25MM H&R spacers for sale in the classifieds.

thanks for the confirmation. OP should jump on those spacers. they would push out the fronts nicely. then look for some thicker ones to put on the rears.
