Default Wheel fitment issue.

im looking to purchase a new set and want to get some input on some ep's with 17x9 wheels. What offsets, tire size for example. im looking at xxr 527 but im not sure about the 9.75 width. im staying the factory lug pattern 4x100 for now and was also considering rota grids in the same size with a width of 9. any input would be great. and yes i have searched and have found plenty on other vehicles but none for the ep. thanks!

Meh, can't help ya there...I guess since that tire is sooo narrow it will help with clearance, maybe like +20/30ish. I'm pretty sure 17x9 +35/45 with 245/40's fit with some decent camber and a lil roll...

If you can tell me the offset to get a 16x8 rim past the rear trailing arm on an EP I'll give you $40 (in 10 $4 installments).
