any 17 wheel with a width of 7-8inch with an offset around +35 to +45 will look nice when paired with a 225/45-17 tire at that height. "nice fit" isn't really specific. you looking for fitment or performance?

sorry I forget I need to chose my words very carefully on here. I guess what I ment to say is, What will work and not have rubbing issues or sticking out from the fender. More towards handeling, but also what will look nice as well. I was curious to see what others have done and their experiences with it.

Do you think I will be able to fit 235 width tires on 16x7 rims?

I just installed my HFP kit in my 04 hatch, it feels smoother and better handling is a plus. I got OEM tires and wheels (16") and will need to buy new tires in 3-4 months. I am not sure what tires to buy yet...

with the money you would spend on the falkens you might as well get the hankooks.. if you're really looking for performance, the Dunlope Star Specs are the way to go. night and day with the stability and grip available to you both immediately and after a few laps..

The 225/45/17's work about the best.

What is the bore size on those rotas? Are you using the stock 15 inch wheel center caps? It does not seem like it but i might be wrong, i'm really curious!

235 (mm) means little by itself. Here's some good info to read up on aspect ratio and section width:

Do you remember what size hub rings you used? Is it 56.1 mm from 67.1?
