I agree with above. If you're looking to keep the tyres the same, then changing wheels seems a little wasteful. I reckon that eventually you'll want to change wheels and rubber, the stock tyres are intentionally slippery. The sweet spot for a good ride, handling and still being able to easily break traction seems to be 225/40x18. maybe look around at 18x8 or 18x8.5 wheels and 225/40 combinations.


BUT in answering your question directly:

the 215/45 tyres that are on the factory wheels already have a very mild stretch, so if you went to a wider rim (the 8" or 9") you will stretch the tyre even more. I think the 9" wide one is out of the question.

If you are going to do this I would recommend the 17x7 +38 wheel; This will keep tyre fitment much the same but will push those skinny wheels further out, filling the factory guards a little more.

17x8 may work well with the tyre depending on what look you are going for, but will stretch the tyre more than what it is already. The +35 offset here will give you the most aggressive fitment/look and i would go for that myself over the +47.

The 17x9 combo, really only leaves you with one option, the 2 lower offsets of +17 and +28 will poke out past the guards and may cause problems, so you'd have to go for the +38 offest there, but keep in mind that 9" is roughly 230mm and the factory tyre is only 215mm so thats a whopping stretch and probably not a good idea.

Have you considered having the factory wheels painted/powder coated if you just want a different look? Powder coated black or bronze and add some coloured wheel nuts and it will make a big difference.
