I've spent a ridiculous amount of time on these forums reading and researching almost everything about this car. From what I've seen a 17x9 +42 or less offset wheel will work for you no problem on stock struts. Also 245/40/17 would be a perfect fit for that wheel. Some run wider than that with a 255, but that gets a little tight up front. Also have you considered 18x9 wheels? They'll make you car a tiny bit slower and tiny bit less responsive, but most think ascetically 18's fit the car perfectly. In no way saying you should do 18's do what makes you happy, just trying to provide answers/suggestions with your purchase.
