Default Pic request ap2 agressive wheels

I currently own a CR and want to get aftermarket wheels. I just wanted to see what an ap2 looked like with wider wheels and tires on stock suspension. Reason being I want my car to stand out but dont want to mess with the already near perfect suspension i.e. lowering, dampining, you know... that sort of thing. Not to mention the fact that I dont want to void the warranty. The only thing I might change would be the alignment, maybe a little neg. camber to run wider wheels if its even necessary. I'm thinking 17x8 fronts and 17x9 rear with the 225 front 255 rear. Please let me know what you think. And again pics please. Thanks.

PS what color do you think would look good on apex blue pearl, I was thinking bronze or gun metal. Works, rpf1's, or ssr type f's, but pics of whatever will work.

Stock suspension and Aftermarket wheels.... is not going to work out well. The gap is just too much.

if you get a good set of coilovers and take it to get corner balanced the car will feel better than stock. trust me i did it.

and i currently have 17x9+42 and 17x10+50 and its no gap all the way around.

I know this has been talked about before, but what are the odds of me gettign screwed at the dealership for having coilovers? Would I guess I could always just swap out the parts if I ever broke anything...
