A few questions before making purchase
 
I'm debating on getting either a 8.25" wide wheel or a 9.75" wheel to put the stock 215/45/17s on. I really want the wider setup.. but is that too much of a stretch for the stock tires? (Offset is 25mm)

Also what is the lug thread? I need to buy tuner lugs. 12 x 1.5??

12x1.25

8.25" should be fine, 9.75" would look ridiculous especially with that low of offset.

example 10" +30 wheel

Yeh that is pretty extreme. I do want a little bit of poke/flushness. SHould I get the 35mm offset? I just think there would still be a lot of tuck in the rear.

I would say 8.25 +35 front and rear, throw a 10mm spacer on the back if neccessary.

9.5 +35 came out pretty flush on mine (slight poke in the front, slight tuck in the rear with natural camber drop).

Since you are planning on using stock tires, I'd say just get the 8.25s and a spacer in the back to like JoeBoxer recommended.

Someone tried putting the stock tires on a 17x9 rim and they wouldn't bead up. I'd say even 8.25 would be pushing it.

What if I purchased 2 +20offset wheels for the back and 2 +35offset wheels for the front?

Would that be weird to buy that way?

They may be hard to sell if you plan to upgrade in the future but other than that should be ok.

true. I settled with all 4 at the +20 offset. I like the beefiness in the front and flushness in the back. It shouldnt look too bad. I'll have pics up here when I get them installed. :) Thanks for the help everyone
