I was wondering if this related to the fact the front brakes are larger. Do you need the additonal offset in the front to accomodate the larger breaks?
higher offset brings them in closer, lower offset moves the wheel face away from the brakes.

The wheels you are looking at will fit fine in the front, maybe a little weak. you'd probably want a 15-25mm spacer in the rear.
