what kind of look do you want?

17 x 9J + 22, 17 x 10J + 22, would look hot, but would require fender modifications, some stretched tires, and good dose of lowering.

The other size is conservative.

im not concerned with fender rolling or anything seeing how ive read on here that thats really not a big deal and lowering is something im looking at doing anyways i just dont want to look like im over doing it with this set up and would i have to kiss my handiling good bye with the larger set up?

You won't kiss your handling goodbye if you do the proper suspension / alignment parts to go with it.

Roll center adjusters, and the like.

They exist so you can slam the car, and still make your car handle.

+22? They will stick out. They won't fit without new front fenders and rear over fenders. I hope you have a friend at a body & paint shop.

+45 is a better choice. +55 front and +65 rear are the stock offsets.

I went with +50 front and +55 rear. I have the same width tires as a CR. 215/255. No fender mods.

Tripleblackap1 is correct. The 22mm offset wheels will need more than a fender lip roll.
