I'm currently running 17x8 +30 front & 17x9 +30 rear with only trimmed plastic fenders. Haven't done any camber adjustments at all, so if you're planning on 17x9 +25 square you have to at least run alot camber both front and rear(and probably modify you fenders a bit, but that I don't know for sure).
Of course it all depends on how low you want to go, but if we're talking "fitment" you have to do more work than just put the wheels on and drop it to the ground You may also have some problems with inner clearance up front depending on what hight you're planning on running.
