I have 17x8 with 5.25 in back spacing. That is very close on the front with coil overs. I really doubt 5 in back spacing would be enough to clear the stock suspension.

pull the wheel off the car. Lay a flat surface (yard stick will work) across the wheel mating surface vertically. Measure up 17 or so inches on the yard stick. Then measure in toward the suspension from the 17 inch or so mark on the yard stick. This is the amount of back spaceing from the lip of the wheel to the suspension. obviously you will want a wheel with less than this amount or you will need to run a spacer. I have about .5 inches of clearence between the lip of my rim and my coil overs on the front and about 1 inch of clearence on the rear. Mark
