17/17 is weight and $ saving. That's hard to beat. Your car looks very good. What offset do you have?
what tire you running the 235 front? I don't drive mines much and like a 235 for track use.

Does anyone have any pointers on how to figure out if a specific offset will fit and/or clear stock brake calipers.
For example: Front 17x8.5 +30mm, Rear 17x9 +45mm
For example: Front 17x8.5 +30mm, Rear 17x9 +45mm
I went with the 17x8 +45 front 18X 9.5 +38 rpf1
Rears need 3mm spacer to clear oem brakes
Love them!!

There isn't really a way. Caliper clearance is a function of wheel spoke design & back pad depth (usually referred to ask Disk Type), and in some wheels the offset. What I'm trying to say is that there is NO universal offset and width combination that will fit the stock brakes for every single wheel out there.
What I can tell you is that a 17x8.5 +30 front wheel will stick out past front fender, while a 17x9 +45 rear will be very recessed into the wheel well (it won't look good).
Also, to further complicate the matter, caliper clearance is also a function of which stock brakes you have. The 1991-1996 brakes have smaller rotors (the "B Radius" becomes smaller) which makes the clearance closer to the hubcenter more important in the wheel design. The 1997-2005 brakes have larger rotors which push the calipers out further away from the wheel hub center ("B radius" is perfect). In most wheel spoke designs, this gives more clearance as illustrated in the picture below.
Keep in mind that you may not require a spacer if you have the 1997-2005 brakes since the caliper sits further away from the hub center due to the larger brake rotors.
