You sold the FD2 already?
Generally you're looking at +38/+40 thereabout wheel offset as a safe bet for a 17x7.5 wheel...but keep in mind that the pattern of the spokes (how much they curve outward etc) has alot to do with brake clearances, and the width of the wheels.
e.g. v7 2002 OEM STi wheels have a +45 offset, and clear brembos (duh), but many aftermarket +45 wheels seem to be just a hint closer to the brakes.
If I were you, I would send a PM to InDeForest. He's the best to advise on this.
Also, use the fitment guide for an STi on wheeldude.com....as an estimate.
Hopefully, you won't have to roll fenders.
