Default RE: 16" or 17" wheels/tires?

I have some questions...

I really like these:
ADR Sokudo 10 Gunmetal wheel 17X7

If I get those with 205/40/17 tires, what offset will I need? They have one in 48 and one in 40. Also, which bolt pattern do I need? They have one in 5x114.3 and 5x100

I think I need 5x100 and 40 right?

Here's how it will look:


I found a site running for $132 a piece.

On my 1st gen neon I would've gone no more than I have now the 16". There are so many problems with going bigger than that, especially when 17" is the biggest you can go without making any mods or cuts

look on the inside of your drivers door, there should be a sticker that tells you the tire and wheel sizes.

I checked and the offset wasn't there [:@]

I found this doing a search:
"Looks like the bolt pattern is 5x100. I got a set of wheels off Ebay, ADR 17x7, 40mm positive offset, and they're rubbing on the front brake calipers. The seller and tire shop were both surprised that the 40mm offset is rubbing. Their reference manuals told them they should fit. I did some research in Yahoo!, and apparently what I need is a smaller positive offset, which will push the street-side edge of the rim away from the hub, which should clear the calipers. The seller didn't have these rims in the 35mm offset that was listed on the boxes, so he's sending me some 1/4" spacers free of charge. I went to Yahoo! again and looked up wheel spacers, and apparently their usage is quite common. I got a really good deal on these rims, and will try using these spacers if it will make the rims clear the front calipers.

uh oh, i wounder if this is the case for me...

Yet here:

An SXT said its okay with 40:
