I think MugenKid was running 17x9 (Not sure of the offset) but I think he rolled his fender and he was still rubbing a little. I would say to be safe 17x8 with +40 offset or you can probably get away with 17x8.5 with +43 or +45 offset.

the +33 on you example is the offset of the wheel. Offset is how flush or how much the wheel will stick out from the fender. The lower the number, further out it is. Stock SI is +45 so if you go higher than that the the wheel is more inside the fender. The lower it goes the more the wheel extends towards the outside. Hope that makes sense. Thats the only way I can explain it with out using much technical terms.
