Default Wheel Size Help

Okay well im getting my wheels this week coming up and my buddy "B Money" told me that te s2k's wheels are the specific size because obviously thats what works best for the s2. Im new to this so im not used to buying wheels like some of the wheel whores that are out here. haha!

*Stock OEM wheels for my 07 are:
--Front: 17" x 7.0", +55 offset
--Rear: 17" x 8.5", +65 offset

*The Ones i wanna get in the correct OEM size: Work VS-XX
--Front: 17" x 7.0", +47 offset
--Rear: 17" x 8.5", +66 offset

Now my question is if thats cool, or if i can possibly squeeze in something bigger. This was my other option.

*Same Wheels,but .5" wider both front and back.
--Front: 17" x 7.5", +54 offset
--Rear: 17" x 9", +60 offset

now my question is if the wheel being a lil off on the offsets from OEM and .5" wider, if that can cause me to have to roll fenders, or not go as low as i can.

Rememer, go easy on me. Im not familiar with the whole -+ offset crap. lol

Thanks is advance guys.

Nice choice in aftermarket wheels. You'll be fine with either of those combo's without having to roll anything. I'd go with the 2nd combo.

For more info on sizes and offsets for the stewie, look here.

If I can help with the tires let me know. With those offsets you should be good to go with the 225 in the front and 255 in the rear.
