Tire / Wheel Fitment Questions

To answer the main question, it is really up to you to decide what your goals are for the car. Whatever size you go with or dont go with there will be sacrifices and consequences. For me the best size to go with would be something that doesnt require spacers or the need to roll fenders. With the advans something like a 17x9 +29 would fit the bill.
Remember wider equals the ability to mount a larger tire at the expense of more weight and potentially the chance that it will rub.
Here is a great sticky to refer to when looking for a winner:

Why a BBK? As an educated buyer I can tell you that you can upgrade your stock brakes with parts such as two piece rotors ss lines and a good set of pads which will ultimately yield about the same performance as a BBK for significantly less money.
Honestly 99% of the people on here have no need for a BBK but rather have them for show. Considering your choice of wheels, I'd imagine you would also fall into that category.

I'm already on brembos with upgraded 2pc rotors/pads/lines.. this is the minimal mod for everyone.
Just thinking for the future if I do upgrade to BBK, will my 17" RS fit

Well your wrong about this.. tho oem brembos are good, but its till a certain level of power. I won't mention alcon brakes but other BBKs like AP, Rotora are worth the money. U can really feel the difference and bite when braking at high speed.

That is a function of the pad material.
2pc rotor, ducts, proper pads will be cheaper, lighter, and stop better.

I'm in the process of putting this exact setup on my car. I'll let you know when it's done. I know The rears will need to be rolled, pulled a bit, and the bumper mount bolt will need to relocated for sure. Got Evodave fender brackets just in case for the front, not sure if they'll be needed with this.
