So I have an s13 hatch that I believe i found the wheels for. I did some research and just want a second opinion. 300zx brakes, ichiba hubs, and raceland coilover suspension will be on this car.

I can get the RACESTAR unilug Wheels in 17x8 or 17x9.5

From what I understand a +20 offset would sit just under flush for the car wiht a 9.5 inch wide wheel. Am I correct in thinking so?

can the front wheel well accept a 9.5 inch wheel up front with ful turning capability? if not i think i will just go with a 17x8 up front and 17x9.5 outback, both with a +20 offset unless theres something im missing here. Im not going for the super flush everytime i go over a bump screw some s*** up look I want a very driveable street setup that isnt too sunk in.

Any confirmation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have 9.5inch wide(from lip to lip) offset +15 all the way around, and the front at full turn don't rub at all, however, I do have the fender liners removed. As for the flushness, the front stick out a little bit as seen in the pic below
