Typically your specialized wheel companies offer blanks. Klutch Wheels being one of them. I had Klutch ML7's drilled from blanks to 5x105

There are people on the board running 235/45/17's and they fit fine. .2" of an inch won't make enough difference to worry about (that's only .1" closer to the wheel well or other contact point).
FWIW - 205/50/17's typically are 25.1" and 235/45/17's are typically 25.3" on most tire brands that I am familiar with.

Thanks for the info. I am sorry, when I wrote that I was not thinking. I am concerned with the tire width. Stock tire width is 8.1 inches wide and 235/45/17 is 9.3 inches wide. Would stock wheels have enough clearance turning left to right to not rub anything?

The dimensions you are quoting are the section widths - not the tread widths. The section width is the widest area of the tire.
Tread width is typically about 6" for the 205 and 6.7 for the 235. Remember that the extra .7" is split between the front and the back side of the tire - so you are only .35" closer to the suspension and wheel well.
The folks on the board running this size have all said that they fit fine.

Thanks for the info! I will be getting the 235's when I need new tires.

Correct me if I'm wrong but without the spacer the 8.5 would be a little over 6mm more poke than the 8.0

18x8.5
What tire size would fit an 18x8.5 rim that is low profile. Will be on coils soon.

A 225/40r18 would be ideal to preserve the original wheel circumference (+0.9% change). A 245/35r18 is even closer to the OE circumference (-0.5% change), but is wider. What offset are your rims?

Here is a handy-dandy comparison (wheel-size.com) showing the approximate difference between the stock rim and tire and the proposed rim and tire.
So I'm looking at buying these from a guy on base. The wheels are 5x100 so I'm already gonna have to get an adapter/spacer but I need get opinions on the size of said adapter/spacer. He isn't able to find the offset of size of the wheel due to him having just bought it. The tires mounted are 245/40z/r17 without any stretch so I'm assume the wheels are about 9.5inch wide (assuming my ****ty math is right) would I even be able to fit these with my lowering springs and what size adapter/spacer would be necessary to get them out far enough to not rub if they fit, without having too much poke?
