After hours of google and I spending time together last night....Ive come to the conclusion that finding a deep dish mesh wheel to fit a sonic is impossible in the states. I have found a 17x7.5 with 20et that will put my stance right about where I want....but the wheel is in the UK. My decision now is either to fork out the money for shipping or find another wheel....

Thanks for everyones input.

you mite be able to make them work but you would have to see if you can have a min of 5mm milled off the back pad. to make them a et25 but depending on how low you want to go you would have to really strech your tires like a 195/45 hell even 195/40
to make it work and roll your fenders

yeah, I planned on stretching the hell out of the tires and if I had to, I would roll.

On a side note: that offset calc you posted had the hub to fender distance at 77mm...

I physically measured and came up with approx 85mm, that being the case, 20et would put it right at the fender.

I do appreciate your help here...new cars are always hard to figure measurements out.

Mods: can we please merge all of the wheel/tire fitment question threads and make one master official wheel/tire fitment thread?
