From past experience with other cars I would suggest you go with OEM wheels otherwise you may well have trouble with offset etc ....

A couple of examples for you on eBay

Also try rims from the LR focus, they have better offset.

Just as a guide, mine is running a +45 offset and sits nicely in the guards, I wouldn't go any more than say a 42. Remember your state laws when it comes to changing the track of your car.

Cheers
