5 X 4.5 (114.3). Don't go any lower than 35mm on the offset. Factory rims have a 45mm offset.

What's the difference between sizes 17" x 7", 17" x 7.5" and 17" x 8 and which is the factory size?

Thanks,

Bob

17 X (7, 7.5, 8) are the width of the rim. By using a wider rim you can get wider tires. Factory is 17x7.

What I'd also like to know is what is the right offset to get with 17x8?

35mm would look the best. Gives the rear a little more aggresive also

I'm looking at SSR Comp's or a similar weighted rim in a 6 or 8 spoke pattern, silver or gunmetal to go with S/mist.

Gunmetal would look sweet. SmokinOdum has the comps in 17" on sterling mist. Whatever you thinks looks best go with but I would pick gunmetal if it where my decision.
