TSW Nurburgring 7.5 or 8...?
I'm looking at the TSW Nurburgring in matte bronze for my06. They have two different staggered sets for sale:
-17x7.5+45
-17x9+63
or
-17x8+35
-17x9+63
Here's my question, Which set would allow me to keep my tire size at 215/245? If neither, then which would one would be best from a safety standpoint? Car is stock. Thanks!

Between the two, for what you want option one is the obvious choice, and you should easily be able to run those tire sizes or 255 rears.
The 2nd option's +35mm is a no go without some fender work, and if you only want to run 215 fronts, zero point to 8" wheels.
I'd go with 17x9 +63 all around, though, with 235/40-17 fronts and 255/40-17 rears if you want staggered.

My vote is to do the 17x9 +63 all around. I run that set-up and had no problems on the stock suspension.

Are those the only tire sizes that fit or the ones that will fit best for that wheel size?

Only caveat might be rubbing a control arm on the inside front at/near full steering lock with 9" wide, +63 offset. I've heard reports of that...
So if you don't want or need to run wide tires up front, you might still consider the 17x7.5 +45 for the fronts.
235/40-17 on +63 vs. stock front
215/45-17 on 7.5" +45 vs. stock front
215/45-17 on 7.5" +45 vs. 235/40-17 on 9" +63

I run 255/40s all around, Being able to rotate is nice.
But what are your goals here? Just to get these wheels for ascetics? Or do you have performance goals or anything else in mind?
