Default 16 or 17 in Wheels on a Track model

Will this work because of the Brembo brakes? I'm trying to put ET Streets on the rear for traction but they only come in 16 or 17 in. Any ideas will be appreciated! Thanks

I have the same planning...

What do you mean by low offset?

What's the stock offset? If I'm looking for 17's, what OFFSET should I be looking for? Range? Thanks!

stock is 18x8 +30 front and 18x8.5 +33 rear. It varies by wim ridth, but offset should be somewhere in the 20-35 range. A 40 would be sitting in too far.

Wheels I have used include
18x8 +35 front
18x9 +30 rear enkei rpm2

17x9 +35 enkei rpo2j

19x8 + 21
19x10 +27 Iforged

and test fit G35c
17x7.5 +30 front wheels.

All without problems.
