really, i would say its a personal preference. just look online and when you see something that you like, look at reviews of the company to see if they are build with good quality or not.

Any size and offset and tire size. Hard to find what size besides stock fits this car.

A 17x7 wheel will fit if the offset is correct. You'll need either a +35 or +45 offset for a 7 inch wheel.

Really. I was under the assumption that I needed a high offset like +35 so I need to be looking at negative.

Any idea what tire size to put on 17x7 that fits the best and can they swap the tire pressure sensors.

It all depends on what look you are going for and how much of the wheel gap you want to fill.

If you are going to lower the iQ with springs I would go with a lower profile tire, something along the lines of a 215/35/17. If you are not going to lower the car something like a 245/45/17 may do the trick for you.

The tire pressure senders can be moved to your new wheels.

Remember to hit the reset button under the dash after your new tires and wheels are mounted.
