Default 1996 ES 300 Deep dish look

Greetings,

Can you tell me if its possible to put a staggered fitting on a 1996 Lexus ES 300 with TSW products? I am interested in TSW Zolder silver rims http://www.tswalloywheels.com/alloy_wheels_zolder.php. I really like the deep dish look and would like to acheive this in a 17 inch wheel. Could you please suggest rim and tire sizes for this look? I do not want to modify the vehicle in any way and will tolerate no rubbing but want as deep as possible. As it stands right now, I have 4 Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport 225 50 17s on order elsewhere but can cancel. Stock size is 205 65 15.
These pics are with +1 sizing 215 55 16s

Thanks for your time

are you keeping that height? if so, i'm not sure you'll have any rubbing issues period. Generally,235's will fit. I used to have 245/40/17 re-01r's (pretty square tires) on my 17x8 and it was fine.
