wheel & coilover advise needed!!!

[cupra44]

I own a 2001 mk3 ibiza cupra 20vt the car is amazin i love it. BUT the wheels i got on at the moment are 7x17 oz titan's and there alright but the wheels i really want only come in 8x17 and 9x17, is it possible to fit 8x17 on the front and 9x17 on the rear? They come in a 30-45mm offset, I'm also ordering a fk coilover kit so the car will be lowered, Is that gonna be the reason i can't put wider wheels on? i'm really keen on puttin these wheels on my ibiza but its gonna be alot of money if they dont fit, Also i'm not wanting to do crazy arch work but if it's not too much work that would be a bonus. any advise would be much apprcited, here's a pic off my car now i havn't done a great deal to it just brakes (EBC turbo groove and green stuff pads) messed around with the rear badges, fitted a small drivers side mirror and fitted a mk5 golf rear wiper blade http://www.geocities.com/last_concern_video/ibiza.jpg

alright mate, i once fitted a 9x16 on the rear with a 15mm offset and it was perfect. looked like a 9x17 shouldnt be a prob. but in terms of fitting an 8x17 on the front, im not so sure. you'll definetly need the arch's rolled if you're going low, and you may even need to get them pulled/flared just slightly to house the 8x17. i think the safest option is a 7.5.17 on the front.

thank you mate i'm gonna go for the 7.5 on the front and 9 on the rear the car is gonna be as low as possible hopefully this shouldn't be a problem. what size wheels did you have on the front?
