Whats up Cialz that is the right bolt pattern just make sure they are 5 lug and not 4 as far as the offset is concerned I don't know +48 is a bit much I could be wrong , I have 18X8 with +40 offset and 225/40/18 tires and they are perfect I don't know for sure if another 8mm of offset will make the rim be too inset well if they are 17x7 and not 17x8 you should be okay now that I think about it , if the rims were 8 inches wide than it might be a problem, the tires will be fine also but you may want to upgrade to a larger size later because the diameter of 215/45/17 tires are 24.7 inches where the stock diameter is 25.2-25.4 inches the closer you can get to the stock diameter the better my tires are 25.1 inch diameter but you will be okay with those tires I used to have that size on my car. If you can see if the guy will let you try one of the rims on your car just to be sure if they fit. Let me know how it turns out

Cool man how much did you pay? Go with B+G sport springs you can get them at www.carparts.com just go to the perfromance section and the suspension section(springs) they will lower your car 1.6 inches that is what I have and it is perfect low enouch to look tough but not too low, good for an everday driver. Any other questions just ask bro.

thanks

do you loose any ride quality with these springs?

lobo

What's up Bro, let me put this way no matter what anyone says you will lose ride quality when you lower your car , or use low profile tires or both , the question is how much ride quality will you lose, I have 40 series tires(the lowest I recommend for every day driving) 1.6 inch drop B+G springs and monroe sensatrac struts, the ride quality is very good considering those factors, I used to have tokico struts and Eibach 1 inch drop springs and my ride was much worse than it is now, the tokico struts handle a bit better but ride worse that the monroes and the tokicos are noisy, I extremely happy with my ride it is the best compromise of comfort and performance, I mean no matter how cushy your ride is on normal pavement It will be rough on uneven pavement or bumpy roads, I mean My car rides great on the freeway and in the city but you feel it alot more than stock when you hit a bump etc. you feel the road more which is actually better in my opinion the more feel the better you can react. But the B+G sport springs are of the highest quality. If I missed anything let me know hope I helped. -lobo-
