Will you get any problems with the front arches with 8x17s and that ET? Do you plan 215 tyres? I don't know personally but it seems to vary from car to car with build tolerances

Yes, that was the sort of issue it is worth bearing in mind. Not a big job but maybe worth a trial fitting first to see if they catch - different makes of 215 tyres ( if that is your intended option ) have different size shoulders sometimes
