Default Locating rims issues

i am having a terrible time finding a store or website that has a good selection of 17x8" 4-lug rims, for a 1988 ford gt mustang

The tire size that we have are P245/45zr17 89W

I have one more question.

if i were to get 17x9" in. rims all the way around, would i have any trouble with rubbing in the front when i turn the steering wheel, and have any rubbing in the back when i hit a bump?

I don't think you'll have a big problem with 17x9's on the front. The best thing to do would be 17x9's on the front and 17x10.5's on the rear. Better traction and a really aggressive look. Check out this site, browse around because they have a big selection of 4 lug wheels and all of their Cobra wheels come in 4 lug as well.
