To answer your question about wheels, the largest wheel/tire combo to be guaranteed zero rubbing with proper offset at stock height is 205/40/17. If you're lowered it is 205/40/16.
The 17's are significantly larger in overall diameter with 205/40/17 tires installed which negatively effects your acceleration. Unfortunately there are no shorter volume produced tires for a 17" wheel.
