Well at least he has given us correct offset numbers to shop other wheels. The stock front wheel is 17x7.5. If all you can find is 17x8 , then it is a half inch wider, you then have to "half" that half inch ,giving you a quarter or.25. Adding that to the original backspace of 7.5 gives you 5.75. Ideally you want a 5.75 vs 5.88(the plus35 min offset) in front. You can't go less ,but you can go more and add spacers to push wheel out .
The key here is the greater the offset brings your tires inboard. Conversely lower pushes them out . It's like smoke ,once it's out you can't get it back in . But if it's in you can spacer it out.

This is the best info and charts : http://www.rsracing.com/TechWheel.aspx

So this is the chart I use . As you can see you take the known stats of your current wheel , 7.5 wide and 5.5 backspace. Draw your lines and get 32 backspace.
Now if you want an 8 " wide wheel but the same 32 backspace , draw your line from 8" over to 32 offset , go up and it gives you the backspace of 5.75.
