MB Competition Wheels 17X9
I know I had lots of questions about these wheels, and not alot of people are running them. I bought them on "faith" that they would fit.
They are 17X9 with 27 offset, I'm running 255/40/17 RA1's on them. They have no problems in the front. They dont rub turning lock to lock.
The rears do rub a little on the rear fender lips under hard cornering load, and will require some minor work. But I was aware of that going into this.
The wheels are available from Discount Tire, I got mine for a deal I can't post but it was under $135 a wheel.
These are a great, cheap option for race wheels. Weight is about the same as the stock wheels.

Will rims with a 32-35 offset take care of the rubbing problem? Or that wont make any difference in the rear!!!?
The RA-1's look like they fold a bit to the sides, will a different tire maybe take care of the rubbing problem? Talking about same size different brand. 255/40/17
How low are ur springs?

I'm on Hotckis springs.
No 255/40/17 would fit without rubbing on these wheels. As far as 32-35 offset working, It varies wheels to wheel. But that would be less of a problem then the 27's. But 27 makes a great wide stance. And the trimming/rolling of the fenders is not to bad.

They also have a wheel called the Weapon which is a 7 spoke Gramlights 57f knock-off. Same size and offset as my wheels.
