like 17x7. Thats a small tire. Good luck finding a wheel that it will fit on, the stock wheels are 16x8 and wont' go that small...

You could get you stock wheels narrowed. I would almost consider a 6" wheel.

So a 17x6 rim would be best? I am going to have a set of CCW rims made: 18x12.5 for the rears and 17x6 for the fronts.
