Default help with wheels

thinking you guys could maybe answer my questions faster after posting in the tire forums.

Thinking about purchasing Enkei J10 Wheels 17x7+38 X4 - Yokohama S-Drives 225/45/17 x4 but i dont really know much about the sizes and what not. since all 4 rims are the same size, what would be the down side/ up side of something like this? also as far as the height it is currently stock, but will be lowering soon. IF i was to get these, i wouldnt need to roll flare or anything correct?

only reason im looking into these because they seem like a decent deal and since i have to get 4 new tires for my stock AP1's might as well get these if everything works right.

you will compromise handling with that set up
and you will probably need your fenders rolled if you plan on lowering the car to prevent rubbing issues,

i would just look around the for sale forums for a more proper s2k setup, gl

what would be the best setup as far as tires for stock AP1 rims?

i do know they have 205's in front and 225 in the rear. would i be able to get wider fronts and rears? if so what would be the ideal setup for a DD with possible auto-xing?

Run 245 in the rear for stock AP1 if you are using a tire other than the stock S02s.
