I have a 96 SET vert and I recently installed a set of ASA JH8 17x7.5 wheels with a 40mm offset and 235/40/17 Sumitomo HTRZII tires from the Tire Rack in South Bend Indiana. I have experienced zero rubbing or other fitment issues and the wheels look great. The tires have an overall diameter of 24.40" vs. the stock combo 24.07". Since this represents less than a 1.5% difference, my speedometer would only be off approximately 2.25 MPH at 150 MPH which is to say it's as accurate as it ever was for all practical purposes. The 235 tire looks much better than the recommended size of 215/45/17. No bulging on the wheels at all. In all reality, the 235 on a 7.5" rim is approximately the same ratio of tread width to rim width as the stock 205 on the 6.5" rim.
Have fun!
