It sounds like he will be cutting it close on the front. If he has MaXX or Kerscher struts, a 17x7 wheel should fit with an offset of 50-55mm (according to TopLine). They used 205/40-17 tires on the front under standard front fenders (wings). They also used a 1302 instead of a 1303. I know there are subtle differences between the two beyond the obvious difference.
I saw a beautiful (award winning, in fact) 1303 with Porsche wheels last week and didn't even know at first that it had slightly wider rear fenders because it looked so natural. If your mate is dead-set against wider fenders, he may have to settle for eight-inch wide wheels.
