Default Final Decision Time!!

I need serious help lol.. I'm finally ordering my dream rims this coming week and need help on sizing choices...

First off all I want is a NICE STANCE look .. that well be my DD.

Rims sizes are :

17x8.5 +15 (all around)
OR
17X7.5 +35 (all around)

My question for everyone is ;
1.which is a better choice?

2.what mods will I need to do to fit either set.?

3.which will look better to give me a great STANCE look?

I appriciate everyones help n sorry I made this long BUT I'm clueless about sizing rims n really want it to look nice..

I ordered megan ez coilovers so they should b on the way soon!!

+15 is going to be pretty tough to fit i believe. im was on on 17x8 35+ 17x9 30+ 215 45 17 all around and it sat like this.

I didnt like how the 17s were so i just put my 18s back on. 18x8 18x9 33+ 215 40 in front 235 40 in rear and sits like this.

I mentioned it your last thread you're gonna need a fender roller.

To get more specific, here is my brothers setup. 17x8.5 and 17x9 +15 all around

fender roll and pull all around. the pull on the fronts was tough. He wound up getting overfenders. PM him, sunny D
