Well you are in luck. I cannot remember the exact off set and backspacing but I do know that they make a 17x9 and 17x8 just for 3rd gens with the right specs built in. I run the 17x9's with a 245/45/17 tire up front and a 275/40/17 in the back. I wanted the look of a little more meat in the back. Check out my site for lots of pics.

You should be able to call the place where you buy them from and ask for their 3rd gen snyper wheel. Thats what I did. ROH makes this wheel for about a trillion differnt cars and they have part number just for 3rd gens. Oh and by the way, I am running my set-up with the eibach sportlines which are pretty low. No rubbing to this day. But I cannot garantee that if you go with a tire wider than 245 up front. Mine are close.

I really wish they made a 18x9 and a 18x10. They would look so good.
