Read up on that. If it doesn't answer your question then you will have to get specific about particular rims. Good luck!

Thanks! I did look at that before, hmm.. If you find some rims that will fit just post them! Because the front and rears are different... I do like thick 5 spoke wheels..

seems like you dont know much about size and offset. i would take some time to do a bit of reading before making a post like this so you will understand what you are looking for/buying.

Ok so your best bet is to go through some of the offical wheel threads in the gallery and the official whatever color your car is thread so you can see other people with the same color and what set ups they have done. Just be aware that many set ups require a lot of work to make them fit on this car.

If you want to keep the OEM tire sizes you are looking for a 17x7.5-17x8 front wheel and a 17x8.5-17x9 rear wheel. These sizes will allow you to run the stock size tires.

As for offset unless your dad is willing to have the fenders rolled you need to stay as close as possible to the OEM offsets listed in the fitment thread linked above. Generally speaking you need to be above +55 for both the front and rear. There aren't a huge number of wheels that meet this so be aware of this.

So once you have a little better idea what you like then you can come back and ask specific fitment questions about specific offsets or sizes.
