Stop overthinking it. Go find something you like and go from there. Also please do not effectively "space out" a 7" wheel 40mm.
Why not? The car handles great on N3000 215/45/17 tires. Why add a bunch more grip? I don't need it, and I don't want it. I'm not building the fastest car in the world, I'm building a car with great handling that handles really well at the limit. It drifts great, and the final power will be sub-300 at the wheels. I'm changing the turbo for a supercharger... Why get an 8.5 inch wheel and a 245 section tire if I can't spin the f*ck out of it, smoke the tire, and have a grand old time?

The only reason I'm not keeping the stock offset is I hate the way it looks. This is an aesthetics-only modification. All I'm doing is making sure I'm not sacrificing function for aesthetics. That means re-tuning the suspension to accept the altered offset, and making sure I don't hit anything. That's all.
