I still vote 17x8 with a 235 tire. 245 or 255 would be better suited for a 17x9. Personal opinion only. There are guys in the aggressive wheel fitment thread that are putting 215s on 18x10's. But they're not looking for performance, either. They're looking for stance.

Im looking for 100% performance, dont really care for form. A stretched tire was never bad, Porsche tires are quite stretched from the factory for example..

17x9 with a 245/40/17 sounds like what you want.

17x8 is a way better starting point. Start with a 17x8 and 225 tire. See how it is. Worst case scenario you don't like it and can use it as your DD setup and move on. If you don't like 17x9 worst case scenario is you have to buy aftermarket suspension to fit the tire size you want. And all the issues related to getting aftermarket alignment adjustment parts.

The setup I just described DOES fit stock suspension. with a 45 you need a small spacer...5mm is probably ideal.

Weds sport tc105n 17X9 +35... IIRC, they are discontinued.
These are light weight like RPF1, but IMO look better. (they cost more too) They have a new wheel that looks almost exactly the same though... Weds tc105x. I think they are stronger...
