cobra wheels fitment into fc

I am looking to purchase a set of cobra wheels, and they are 17x9 front and
17x10.5 rear. Unfortunatelly the seller does not know the offset of this wheels.

Now the question is ...what's the ideal offset for these size of wheels to fit an fc?? and may be also suggestion of the rubbers size?? and also to rock a 9" front and 10.5" rear on an fc, will I require a widebody kit??

thanks in advance

find the offset. You will get different opinions on the offset on this forum since some will tell you to run conservative, others will say go extreme. With those 17x10.5, a fender roll/pull will be necessary. What type of suspension do you have?
