Varrstoen ES7 17x9 +35

I really like these wheels. I was thinking about RPF1's but they're a little to track looking for my taste. What do you guys think?
Think they would rub on oem suspension?
And what tire size do you suggest? I really don't like the stretched tire look where the lip and end of tire aren't flush.
Thanks yall.

245/40/17 seems to be the most popular size for the 17x9.

+35 will be close to the stock struts (if you're lowered on springs or not, doesn't matter) - lowering will naturally give you some negative camber to reduce the poke in the front, add bolts or plates to get more.

Looks, well that's your call. Personally, I'd get the RPF1's because they're a performance proven wheel, they're light, and they aren't that expensive.

Thanks bro. I'll take that into consideration.
I'm just having a hard time on the RPF1's because I don't really need a lightweight wheel right now since it will be a while before I go to the track or do autox. Plus they're like $100 more per wheel than the ES7's.
But we'll see. I can always buy 1 or 2 at a time.

If you get the ES7 in 17" then please post them up so I can get that size added to the Wheel Directory. Thanks.
