The offset really isn't ideal for an A body in the front. 17x8 with a 4.5" BS is good for the rear, but it needs more backspace in the front to work well. I think it can be done, but your tire width will be limited. 245's on 17x8's with 4.5" backspace will rub the fenders on most A bodies. With 225's in the front it might work ok on most A bodies.
They're about perfect for B/E bodies though, which is why I think all of the pictures of them are on B/E bodies.
