Default Rim size/offset HELP!

Hey guys I am sorry if this question is going to make me look stupid but I need to ask it...

I'm in the market for aftermarket wheels " Rota D2's"...

I'm curious as to what size wheel and offset would fit my car for stock fitment... A buddy of mine is telling to get 17 x 7.5 / +45 offset for the front and 17 x 8.5 / +50 offset for the rear. Is this correct for stock fitment meaning I won't have to get bigger size tires or any of that nonsense. Also do I need to get my fenders rolled?

Please guys any help would be EXTREMELY appreciated!!!

Those are pretty much stock rims sizes. If your running oem tires and oem suspension then these will require no modifications.

OEM AP2 rims are F17x7.0 +55 (215 tire) and R 17x8.5 +65(tire 255). Be careful of offsets that are too small to house the brake calipers unless you also acquire spacers. If possible I would prefer proper offsets to accomodate the calipers than spacers in my new wheels but you may not have the choice if you are focused on a particular wheel rim. There is lots of info on the site on this topic. Do some due diligence before jumping too quickly.

Don't waste your money on stock fitment wheels. Go more aggressive or don't bother.

Check out the wheel fitment threads for a ton of info. If you have any specific questions once you've read all the info in those threads, let me know.

Rimtuck.com is a great source to view peoples wheel setups.
1010tires.com has a great offset calculator to help visualize things a little.

just an fyi rota d2 17" rims will not clear our calipers. You have to get 18's or run spacers

Is there any rims I can run that are 17's that have the deep dish look such as the work meister, ccw, bbs?

Thanks for the help!
