17 x 8 +45 would be a nice size.
I have run 18 x 8.5 +45 and 17 x 8.5 +40 and 17 x 8 +45 on my previous Gen2.
You will need rear camber bolts and rolled rear guards.

Youll need to have negative camber in the rear so that the wheels fit. Camber bolts are the easiest way to do this in the rear

Also depends on the tyre width you want to run.
Rolling rear guards, up to $100 for the pair.

I dont know much about rims and tyres, lol but arent there already camber bolts to change the camber? And i dont know what size tyres would be good let alone even fit the rims :/
only fronts run camber bolts standard. whiteline sell them for around $60-$70
215/45/17 is the size for gen 2.

In fact if its going to be the same tyre size then it wont look wider so really there is no point in going 8?

Positive offset means the wheel is further inset than zero by X mm so a +45 is 45mm closer to the centre of the car than the guard, negative offset is of course the opposite. Would run a 225 or ideally a 235 on an 8" wide rim though you could always go larger still if you pleased.

Do you have coilovers? You wont get enough negative camber in the fronts on oem camber bolts for 235's.
Id go 225 max but again, a lot is based around offset.
Find some wheels you like and post up specs here. Then we can give advice based on actual specs.

Yes, the lower the offset, the closer to the guards the rim will be measured in millimetre's.
ie, if you have a +55 and are looking at a +35 in the same width, the +35 will be 20mm closer to the guard than your current rims.
