any problems with this wheel tire setup?

I have finally found the wheels i want and by searching on offsets, tire sizes etc. etc. i think i have found the correct combo.

these wheels http://www.centerlinewheels.com/whee...ehicle&data=1#

17-8 5.25 offset up front with yokohama 245/45-17

17-9.5 5.5 offset out back with 275/40-17

i have an 85 z with hotchkis 1" lowering springs.

Any problems or suggestions. My 10" wheels rub like #^$^ with the lowering springs but they are junk anyway.

The rear ones will be close to good (I like them tucked in a little more then that but a lot of people run them ¼” further out), but the fronts will be about ¾” too far in
