17 x 7.5 wheels at front?

hi all
sorry this is a bit of a repost but my question has changed and since it's now at the bottom of the post noone seems to be answering.
I'm considering getting some old merc wheels-
7.5x17 fronts et 37
8.5x17 rears et 34
anyone have experience of this sort of setup? my slight concern is that the table here http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/wheel ... 13832.html seems to say the front one may be a problem - is 7.5 a bit wide or has anyone else used it? also, at the rear 8.5 isn't going to interfere with the sliding door is it?
The other option I have is some new wheels which are 7 x 17 but they're an offset of 25 which isn't perfect! Trying to make a final decison and just go with one!
Thanks for any advice,
Jane.
