According to http://www.wheelsmaster.com/rt_specs.jsp
The back and front will fit using stock size tires and clearing suspension/brakes(all stock). What do you guys think?
This is the best guide I have found to date.
Wheels: Wheel 1 Wheel 2
Wheel size 17x8 ET 33 17x9 ET 17
BackSpace 147 mm (5.8'') 144 mm (5.6'')
3 mm (0.1'') shorter.
Rim Lip 29 mm (1.1'') wider
Tires: Tire 1 Tire 2
Tire size 235/50-17 235/50-17
Section width 235 mm (9.3'') 235 mm (9.3'')
Sidewall 118 mm (4.6'') 118 mm (4.6'')
Tire diameter 668 mm (26.3'') 668 mm (26.3'')
Rim sizes 17x6.5 to 17x9 17x6.5 to 17x9
Circumference 2098 mm (82.6'') 2098 mm (82.6'')
Revs per mile 767.3 767.3
Clearance: Package 1 Package 2
Suspension Assuming that this is OEM wheel/tire and there is no any problems with clearance on both sides 100% clear (leaves even more room than OEM)
Fenders Package will stick out 16 mm (0.6'') farther. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider narrower tires or higher offset.
Wheelwells The same.

MB Competition 17x9, just lower the car some more and they will look tight. Tires will be way cheaper
I like the Motegi Touge as well. I was thinking 17x9 front and 18x10 in the back. Either of these two might be on my car soon.
