Brake clearance depends on spoke design, not offset.

As for being "flush", it depends on what you're definition of "flush" is.

Based on your wheel sizes...

front: 17x8 +20 offset

rear: 17x9 +25 offset


that'll be pretty flush, but then again it depends on what you thihk is flush.

Personally, i'd go with 17x9 + 15 offset all around, but thats just me. :D

Oh and about other wheels with black center an polished lip, there's a bunch out there. It just depends on you, and your definition of a cheap price.

If you have any more questions, feel free to contact me on aim.
