Will 17X8 Motegi Wheels work?

Will 17X8 Motegi Wheels work?
Need expert advice. Found new Motegi Traklite 2 wheels but the only size is 17 X 8. They have a +42 offset and backside of 6 1/8.
Checked 18" JCW wheels and even these are 7" wide. Would think tire size would be important consideration. With an 8" width could probably run 225's on these rims but section width of the tire would be approaching 9".
How can I assure myself that these will work?
Does anyone run this wide a tire? Any issues?
Car is at stock height but planning to lower with H & R springs. Will this create a problem?
Thanks for your help.

Thus it would seem that it is possible to get 17x8s on the car with the correct offset--whatever that is.

I had them in 15". So soft, the car would shimmy sideways when closing the doors. They road like butter, but absolutely no steering response, which was quite upsetting. I should have kept the RG-F, but put proper rubber on them. Oh well....hindsight = 20/20. They wouldn't have cleared my brakes anyways
