Default thinkin about buying some rims
I'm thinking about buying some rims but first I got a few questions.

Would 215/45/17 tires work on 17x7.5 rims?

What would be a good offset to make the rims look flush with the fender?

If you wanted them a little more low-profile you could stretch a 205/40/17 on there...assuming the roads you drive on are in good condition.

Tire stretching is a dangerous thing.
