Drilling most aftermarket rims is a NO NO mainly because most cast rims are just too dam poorly desgined to handle drilling. A few so called well known shops for wheels in Sydney have done it. I know of many cases where they have done so because said owner wants said Rims on his hyundai and the fools dont' realise they are not drilled correclty they were done by hand on a floor with hand drill. don't laugh seen it.

One shop did it they owner said no problem it's for show yeah -saw the car with busted rim after it hit the gutter. the redrilling the force mean on rear drive 200Sx it cracked. So much for the 20's bro.

on 17X7 - 215-45R17 is perfect middle spot on a 17X8 depends on the profile but 225 to 235/ 40 or even 35 R17 will do less stretch. but if it's to clear the inners. stock BA is 45mm offset. with 6 J if remember right on v6 Ba.

I know you can go down to Maz6 50 offset with full size tyre. but not Sp23 53.5mm needs 3mm spacers if not 5mm spacers. but all are 7J rims

on a 38 might get away with it but you dont' have much outer gaurd clearance so a streetched 225/40 on r17 would be needed. plus possbile roll depending on your lowering and camber settings
