Default 17"/18" Wheel Size Poll - Please Respond

Please identify your wheel diameter, wheel offset, wheel width, tire size (complete) and personal comments like; They rub, I wish they were narrower, I wish I had bought the 18's", etc.... Identify what brand and style you got too. Thanx

17X7 Team Dynamics M/Sport and sorry I don't know the offset right now. 215/45 Pirelli P7000, awesome set up, very slight gentle rubs with load on dips, but think it is uneven shaped rear inner fender liners. 40's may be better for this but I like the extra sidewall for all the everyday conditions that are out there. 40's and lower are asking for wheel damage with the junk laying on the roads and their generally poor condition.

I have 17" TSW big deeps, 215/45/R17, 40MM offset, but I still rub on big dips in the front, and rub in the rear if heavly loaded. I got the 45 series do to being a daily driver i didnt want a rough ride or to mess up my rim.
