enkei ekm3 17x7

so.. im far from a wheel guy. i come from wranglers where i had a 15 inch rim with 35 inch tires. Just throwing that out there. I went to a place today to look at some wheels and really liked the enkei ekm3 wheels.

So i wanted to stay stock size with the 17. kinda wanted to go 18 but got a good deal on some 17 inch dunlop direzza z2s. So the guy says 17x7 and i said 17x8? im just kind of worried that the wheel is gonna be absolutely tiny and look so awkward.

any thoughts?

According to Enkei's website, they do not offer these wheels in 17x8 in our bolt pattern. For our 5x100 pattern, your options are either 17x7 +45, or 18x7.5 +45

Stock wheels are 17x7 and they look tiny. These will look just the same, I would find at least a 17x8 if you're going to upgrade.

so it would just be a small stretch onto the tires?

Yes 17x8 would be a stretch but not that much.
