I'm on stock suspension any info will be greatly appreciated. It's a 2005 bb.

WAY too small for all 4 corners. Your stock rear wheels are 17x8.5, downgrading to a 17x7 on the rear would give you less rubber on the ground (and would look HORRIBLE imho)

Yea kind of thought that was going to be the answer but don't really want to go in that direction. Do you know if rota slipstreams come in the right 17" size for our car and where the best place to get them is?

I'm kinda out of the wheel game...threw some 18" LM's on my car 2 years ago and haven't looked back.

I'm sure someone else will chime in with some options for ya.

18x8.5 +40 PCD 5x114 All around w/ 245/35/18's. Can rotate the tires this way and is correct rolling diameter(.1" off from factory size) - May need to roll fenders depending on how aggressively you drive the car and road condition.
