So I got myself a nice 92 lx hatch and I'm already in love with it. I'm already starting to customize it how I'd like and honestly am at a loss when it comes to wheel sizes and widths, offsets, all that stuff. So basically I'm looking at a set of 17x9 wheels with a 25mm offset. Will these fit? Here's the exact wheels I'm referring to http://www.wheeldude.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=6566
Yes I know, rota wheels, but I've never had issues with them, and the build I'm planning these will look nice. So any help would be appreciated thanks!

Mustang Wheel Backspacing

Backspacing is distance from the back edge of a wheel's rim to the back of the center section. Measured in inches, backspacing is closely related to offset. This measurement is important because it determines the clearance of the wheel in the well, and the amount the wheel will stick out.
You can measure a wheel’s backspacing by running a straight edge across the rim bead and dropping another straight edge down to the wheel face, measuring that distance.

For tire size think 245/45/17 max front 275/40/17 for rear without much fender role or well work.
