I'm looking into purchasing a pair of 5zigen F1's up front...I have the rear set and i wanna say they're 17's by 10...i like how the spokes go out and curve back in...i wanna know how wide some of ya run up front without rubbing...the thing about the 5zigen F1's is if u don't run em wide...they don't look aggressive since the spokes have no depth to them, which looks ugly as hell imo. Any help on this topic would be great boys!

It depend on a lot of things , the offset , your car height, and the size of your tires . Do you mind rolling the fenders ?

I've got coilovers so height is adjustable...and i'm all up for rolling the fenders to an extent.

I've seen a decent number of 17x9's up front... And MAYBE a handful of 17x9.5's in the front. Can't really say for sure.

But here's a better idea. Look at this site: RimTuck.com
