My understanding is the the stock rims are:

Wheel size: 17x7
Wheel offset: +48
Bolt pattern: 5x100
Centerbore: 56.1

So can anyone respond with an aftermarket rim that would meet these requirements with name and picture....
err.. all you really need to make sure is that the wheel is 5X100 and is 17" in diamater

you can easily keep your stock tire and put it on an 8" rim or a 6" rim, the change in overall diameter will have a slight effect on the speedo/actual speed variation but who gives a fuck

centerbore is nice but not vital as long as you put the wheels on correctly and not torque the first nut to 500lb without even threading on the other ones.

and offset has no effect on what kind of tire you choose (unless we go into extremes or hellaflush)
