I've read here that some people used the BBS RK 17x8 ET35 with 225/45-17 and lowering springs without problem.
I have 17x7 Et40 with 225/45-17 and it's fine (Saab Evo wheels). 17x8 would fit, I tried that.
Ideally, I'll get 7.5" Et40 because 8" Et 35 gives a goofy look to the front end. To me, it's sticking out too much. 3/4" outward makes a difference.
Also, with wider front track and tires, you'll get more reactions in the steering and tramlining.
Do a search on the 9.3BB and you'll find gobs of threads on this subject.
