that's really a matter of preference isn't it?

well if you plan on not rubbing and you don't want to roll your fenders either, you can't really go wider than an 8" width wheel and around a 225 tire depending on offset. if i was gonna do new wheels and didn't want to roll fenders i'd go with 17 x 8s and about a +42ish offset on 225 45s. but like i said, it's a matter of preference and you can go much more agressive if you roll your fenders. the wheel expert guys can probably chime in too

yeah i was thinking like a +45 offset with 17x7.5's? but not sure if i want to roll the fenders.

if you ran a 215 or 225 tire on that setup you should be fine without a roll.
