17x7, +60, with 275,35,17.

you MIGHT need to roll your fenders.

-9.5 camber should do

If you want just regular flush. any wheel with an 8.5-9.5 width with a 35-45 offset will probably do it. Not hating, but you seem new to the scene so I wouldnt recommend going too aggressive for your first setup

There are lots of reasons why the car manufacturers are using a particular offset and wheel width on a car. In part it has to do with suspension travel and geometry. You start bringing the wheels out more then you may start to physically impact travel and a wider track may put additional stresses on the suspension bits and could cause warranty issues.

^ that is very true..which is why aggressive fitments are not for everybody and you really have to know what your getting yourself into. And you have to have an open budget because there seem to always be complications with these types of goals that need to be addressed immediately....or just plan very very well

function and forum, do not sacrifice camber just to get that flush look, its not worth it at the end because you will be forking out much more than you really bargain for

The rears are sunk in a bit compared to the front and need 10-15mm spacers to become equal to the fronts. Some people go with a wider rear wheel instead that gives it a deeper lip and that RWD look, but then you can't rotate your tires F to R and throw off the handling characteristics compared to a square setup.
