At the very least a 10mm depending on tire size and lowering.

Word, but to help you get an idea, lucky for you I just posted up in the Fitment Database and I have 17x8 fn01s, so go read that.

ANNNNND if you plan on running spacers, you may want to look into longer wheel studs, on account of that whole wheel coming off because the lug nuts only went on with 2 turns thing.

eh... not really. They have bolt on spacers for 15mm and thicker that you can just screw on to your existing studs.

in his case, 8" +35, he'll need like 25mm spacers to make the offset a +10, which I think is flush

not true, i just talked to a buddy who has these wheels in 8" and he has a plus 25mm on the rear and plus 35mm on the front and they are perfect, so i guess i need a 10mm spacer...thanks for the help all

You will have to figure it out for yourself, but I have the same wheel set up and I plan on a 10mm spacer for the rear after I lower the car.

This is the front and it seems ok.
