Wheel Fitment

I am currently running 7x17 et55 w/12mm spacers 225/45/17 front tires and 9x17 et50 w/12mm spacers 255/40/17 rears. It appears I have a little room left.

I am interested in 17x7.5 et25 and 17x8.5 et25 wheels. The rears move out another 13mm and the fronts out another 18mm.

The question is is et25 too far out? Anyone using that kind of offset? Maybe a 205/50/17 (pushes it out 8mm more).

Thanks for any thoughts
Bob
