S13-KTS, 300ZX Brakes, 17x8/17x9, 235/45 - 255/40?

I know people are running this setup because I've read about it somewhere, but I've been searching for the last hour or so and cannot seem to find it. I appologize if I've overlooked it.

I have an S13 (hatch). I'm getting KTS coilovers, 300zx front brakes, 17x8 +35 and 17x9 +20 5zigen fno1rc's (4-lug) with 235/45-17 and 255/40-17 Bridgestone Potenza RE750's. Will I need to run spacers anywhere to get this to fit? I've been told that I really need a +25 offset on those 8" wheels. If this is so, where can I get a 10mm hubcentric spacer? H&R only sells a 5mm and a 15mm (w/ studs) I think. If I get two 5mm spacers could I use the factory studs still? Will I need to roll fenders?

Thanks!

Run 17x9 +20 in the front.
17x10s in the rear.

I dont think you can use a 10mm spacer on stock studs, I run a 8mm and I barely have enough threads. Like, 3 threads.

Best bet, get better wheels.
My 17x8 +8 fits fine in the front.

I would not recommend 17x10 in the rear on a S13. 17x9 no problem but unless you go widebody with a very low offset, you stand a chance of rubbing up against the inside of your wheel well with a 17x10 on the rear of a S13. On S14's its fine.

run lower offset if you can however you will be pushing clearance wise with those sizes. considering I had a similar setup, tein he + 300zx 30mm calipers in the front on my s13 and my 16x7 advan sa3 with ~+35 cleared with some space.
