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.

Ya the sizes I mentioned are what I am looking at I like the idea of the 17x9s but like I said they are +30 offset the poke is what concerns me. The 18x8.5 are a +38 offset so I dont know how much concern I have with that.
