What size of alloys and tires do i require

Right im wanting to upgrade my wheels, im running coilovers basically as low as they go so dont really want any scrubbage.

Its a vRS, so im thinking 17's, i know the PCD is 5 x 100 but what is the ideal ET and tire size? Im guessing tires should be 205/40/17 to help them stop scrubbing?

So just really need to know ET required so they wont scrub

No 215 for real low driving I even fitted a 195/40 once 0% rubbing


A 205 will be fine
