17x8.5 + 245/40/17 = HellaFunctional
I recently got my wheels in 17x8.5 +35 because the stock wheels weren't cutting it. I got a great deal on a full set of Nexen N3000 tires, so I jumped on it. 245/40/17, has a nice tread pattern, great grip (ultra performance summer tire), and somewhat soft sidewall (only downside and that's if you're doing auto-x). Also has a 340 treadwear rating so it should last some time.
Here's some pics:
