As for your stock wheels, IMO you should sell them and buy a set of light 17x8's for the RS3's. Dropping ~5lbs per wheel is nothing to laugh at, and a set of used RPF1's shouldn't be more than ~$600-700.

That's like the weakest recommendation of wheel aesthetics ever LOL. Convexed RPF1's are ugly as sin. No, I will never waste my money on a 17x8 wheel when the stock is fine. If anything, I'm already thinking about 215/45r17 R-comps wrapped on the stock wheels. That should be PLENTY of tire for the car. Light weight wheels are best, of course. But I'd rather spend my money on something significantly wider. 9" or go home... It's for later when this car has some REAL power. An 8" wide wheel at that point just won't cut it. You're pretty much stuck to a 235.
I absolutely love the fat bulge look with a 255/40r17 on a 17x9 rim. That's what I run on the back of my mr2. Aesthetics and raw functional is my taste. I will admit that I'm heavily leaning towards going 17x9's with the FRS. Functional fat tires will look incredible on all four corners.
