...not sure on all that, but dont forget tpms sensors

what are tpms sensors? and if i was to buy some rims online would they have them?

17 are bad it vibrates
try something smaller

i don't know for sure if your car has them, but they are "tire pressure monitoring sensors" and attach inside your wheel. They send a signal to your car telling it that the air pressure in your wheel is in a safe range. If you get a flat tire, or you don't have them in, your dash light will light up.

so they say.

This link will help you with wheel and tire sizing.

The wheels and tires you selected are sized appropriately.

The center bore on the wheel is too big, though. I believe our cars are hub-centric, which means you'll need hub centering rings or you could end up with nasty vibration.

I can't offer you any advice on the quality of the wheels or tires. Never used any of those brands you listed...

Will 55mm offset fit, Im guessing no?

I don't know.

With that offset the inside edge of the wheel will be a lot closer to your suspension... so you might rub on the inside of the wheel on the front of the car.

You can measure the clearance on your stock wheel/tire to the front springs/struts and see if you have more than about 1.25" of clearance.

EDIT: Or you can see about running a narrower tire... a 195/50R17 gives you an extra 1/4" clearance over the 205/45R17.
