Check out COYS wheels out of Utah.  They make wheels specifically designed to fit our cars.  The company takes the large caliper and fits the wheel nicely into the space.  I put 17 x 8's with 255-45-r-17 tires, they look great.

Mark,
Make sure that whoever you buy from will take them back in case they don't fit right. A few months ago I had ordered a set from Jegg's, I went over all of the info with the sales rep at least 3 times, he assured me that they will fit perfect. After returning the first set due to shipping damage Censored, I finally put on the second set, they didn't fit CensoredCensoredCensored.. Luckily I got my money back, ordered a set from Wheels Vintique (took 6 weeks to get them) they're on and look great (at least to me).
