You will have a big gap. I say lower it first... and go with bigger wheels if you can!

??? No bigger than stock gap, which really isn't that bad. Its not BMW, but if I wanted a BMW, I would have bought one.

17x8 is a great direct replacement size, especially if you don't intend on dropping.

I'm not aiming for anything larger than 17 to compromise my ride quality.

That's exactly what I'm intending to do.

They actually don't look that bad because there is about the same amount of sidewall as the stocks. Speaking of which, my stock wheels are going back on the car this week so just make sure to remind me to bring one at the next meet.
