H and R spacers 25mm will do you fine.

17 is the diameter, Google suggests they're 7.5 wide. That's the same as the wheels I have, although mine are 40mm offset. I'm using 25mm on the front and 20mm on the back, I did have it the other way round initially but ran into problems with the rears rubbing on the arches when there was lots of weight in the back (my car's lowered as well which doesn't help!).

If I were you, I'd probably use 30mm all round as your wheels are higher offset, giving an effective offset of 19mm. I'd buy one pair of spacers first though and put them on the front, just to check the wheels don't rub on full lock. If they do, put the 30s on the back and get some 35s for the front.

If you're still unsure, have a look here

and play around with the numbers so you can see what effect it's having.
