Offset help

I have a 04 coupe with the stock 17's. Bought some rare rims very cheap and need to know what spacer size to get for an aggressive stance. The new rims are:

FRONT: 17x8.5 (+43)
REAR: 17x10 (+38)

PLEASE, I KNOW THEY ARE 17'S, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR OPINIONS ABOUT RIMS, JUST OFFSET HELP.

I have yet to drop it, but do want to once i get the stance.
Thanks.

When you drop the car, the suspension will naturally camber inwards, so unless you want to correct the camber, then you'll be fine. What size are the tires?

For now the ones that came on them.
Front: 245/45/ZR17
Rear: 275/40/ZR17
Will change the size once they need to be replaced.

30 front 25 rear and roll your rear fenders once the car is dropped.

The sizes you have on now are good for the coupe. If you want, you can do a 285/40 in the rear, that's the widest i'd go. The 245/45 front is a good size for an 8.5

If you decide to put a 285 on the rear, then i'd go with 20mm spacers out back just to be safe.
