Everything is all up to you when the day is over. I guess if you are really eager to get wheels if you're on stockers now, it can't be that bad. Does it have tires? If not, you're looking at another $500 or so...so now it's about $1k for these wheels...
For that amount, I don't think its worth it. $300-400 with tires? Now that's a steal...=)

would 17's leave a huge gap?
and what offset is gonna bring me right to the fender, or possibly a tiny bit out, either or is what im lookin for
if this is gonna look sunken can spacers fix it?

It would leave a huge gap if not lowered. If you want the wheels to at the fender, you calculate the offset all depending on how wide the wheel is. Spacers wll fix it but you will need one fat spacer.

found it
im not so sure if that is for the SC400 only or cars in general though, im thinkin that will affect it
and dont worry i would drop it afterwards, but even with a drop im concerned if it would look right

an offset around +35 generally sits flush with the fender on an SC.
As for 17s, here is what 17s look like with no drop vs. drop:
no drop:
drop:
coincidentally, my rear wheels are 17x9 with a +45 offset, so thats how sunken in they will look for you as well.

these right? I like how they look, but the lip is a little too big for my taste (as you can see by my wheels, I have a very small lip and its not even a real lip, i prefer 5 spoke face wheels with a very small lip on the SC)
