You could also go with something like the Cobra R replicas in either chrome or polished aluminum. Look in ebay under "cobra r". I bought the polished and wish I had gotten the chrome but you can get a set of 4 american made for less than a grand. You don't have to get involved in bidding, if you don't want, you can contact the dealers through their links. 245/45-17's fit on 17x9 inch rims without rubbing anything except a minor rub in the wheelwell at full lock turn. I have 285/45-17's on the rear 17x9's. The plan down the road is to get 17x 10.5 so I can fill up the wheel wells a little more, and I am going to get chrome.
