Volks Rims Question

So I was looking into these wheels

http://WWW.RAYS-MSC.COM/wheels/img/68-4-164653.pdf

I was wondering if the 43 offset on the 17x7.5 would cause a problem or would the wheels be too wide to fit the car? Or would spacers/rolling fenders be the only option to get these to fit?

Those style of wheels are what I was looking for in rims. Are there any other wheels with that similar style that may be a little cheaper? Other suggestions would be awesome

The widest I have run is a 17x7.0 with a 42 offset. Depending on your tire size you may or my not need to roll and run spacers... In my opinion stick with a 7.0 width rim... I ran a 225/45/17 on my 17x7.0 and had to roll the back, and even still they rubbed on the bumper-to-quarter panel mounting point with certain tires. A 215/45/17 would be perfect for a 17x7 tire...Its not worth the hassle to run a wide tire like that. The 225/45/17 that I found to fit the rear well without rubbing was a Falken Ziex 512

EDIT: it was a 42 offset...
