The most important thing is to spend your time and money getting a good tire. I'm going with a wheel with a 35 offset while the OEM spec is 48. That will put the wheels slightly farther out. I'm doing that totally for looks and not functionality. The wheels I'm choosing were designed for this platform as an option so I know they were tested by the manufacturer.

I was thinking about the speedo too. I think I’m going with the XXR 530 17x8.25 + 35, and putting some getting General G-Max AS-05. Been reading some reviews and all that jazz and the Generals seem to be decently priced and are good tires. Any thoughts?
