Not sure if this will totally answer your question, but the front and rear track of these cars are different. I beleive the front track is like a half inch or so wider than the rear, this has no effect on rims. Depending on the wheel width you will need around a 35-55mm offset.
Examples
The factory 17x9 wheels have a 50mm offset
the factory 16x8 wheels have a 56mm offset

thanks thats about what i needed so it sounds like if i put the same size rims and offset the front wheels will stick out about .5" further then the back

The difference is barely noticeable.
I currently run 18x8.5's in the front and 18x9.5's in the rear both with a 35mm offset. This gives me the big and little look that I want and does not stick out of the wheelwells.
