Using the stock offset what's the WIDEST 17" wheel that could possibly fit the EP without rubbing? Plz add a tire size too

17 x 8, +45 (stock offset) will fit, that's what King Motorsports uses on their Si, with 225/45-17 tires. I have a set of 5Zigen FN01R-C, 17 x 8, +43, but I haven't installed them yet. The +43 will stick out a miniscule amount more, about 1/16". I'll use the same size tire or more likely 215/45-17 because the smaller size is lighter and the 8" rim will spread the tread out more.
