for a more aggressive look you will find most people going with the 17x9 +45 all around, but i wouldn't recommend this setup without some aftermarket suspension (sway bars, springs/coilovers, rolled fenders) just to insure good and safe handling.

Ive rolled my rear guards and have coil-over's..

I use to run +45 17x8.5" all around, road hugger but that's just me, once I got lower I found out how difficult it was to fit them properly on my budget so I sold them and bought a set of high offset rims
