You can use 17” wheels and larger. As for offset, that’s a bit more tricky, and depends on the style of the wheel.

I personally wouldn't bother with rears. I'd paint your factory rear calipers and rotor hubs black and be done with it.

I'm running 11.8'' disc aka RL with rear normal 10.2'' disc and is AWESOME, once the pads reach the temperature it gets insane (Hawk and EBC) so don't bother upgrading to much in the back unless your autocrossing hard with it!

I'm using oem 17'' with 55 offset!
