97 2.2 CL rim backspacing/offset question

Hi. Sorry, this is surely covered, but I can't seem to find it by searching. I'll say up front that my main daily driver is a Nissan 4x4, this is my wifes car that is mostly stock. I have a 97 stock height 2.2 CL. I'd like to keep the stock suspension, as this is my road trip car and her daily driver,and I'm just looking at going +1 to 17's. (maybe +2, who knows...) I have 215-55/16 (stock), and would like to roll roughly 225-40 or 45/17 or so. I'm good on tires, but am looking for input on specs for rims for this specific car. I'd like to gain a slight "deep dish" look, without running into rubbing issues. Nothing major really, if I could score an inch of depth from lip to the inside face of the rim, I'd be thrilled, but I'm not sure how far one can go. Any suggestions, or links to where I should be looking? Thanks!

check the NOOB guide at the top of this forum. It lists the correct offsets and tire sizes. Hope this helps!

Thanks, the most obvious spot has the answer. Its nice that I searched all sorts of combinations including variations of 97+offset, backspacing, 17, plus every thing I could think of that might make sense...

The search function is a special breed. At least you had a reasonable question. N00b guide to the rescue
