    17x9 as close to +12 to +0 offset. 245/45's or 255/40s

    I always thought 5zigen zr+520 looked nice.

    Although it's a matter of taste and personal choice, those stretched tires leave your wheels/rims vulnerable to curb scrapes. It's bound to happen sooner or later. Ooh, that's if you actually drive your car for any length of time.
