    I would go with +10mm offset because the rims & tires are a bit wider than the stock setup. Although +25mm is closer to the stock rim offset (+38mm), you could encounter inner clearance issues with too much positive offset. Better safe than sorry IMO.

    Those rims should look pretty good . Make sure to post pics in the tire/rims section after you get everything installed.

    Nice looking 17" wheel. Definitely go with the +25mm which is closer to stock (+38mm OEM), which should be your goal when searching for wheels. Forget the +10mm, as the tires will stick out way too far and the resulting wider "swing arc" will hit everything when turned (requiring extensive trimming/modification).

    My highest recommendation for a 17" tire would specifically be the Yokohama - Geolandar A/T-S in 285/65R17 (31.6" O.D./42.6 lbs). This is a super rare tire size that has a low wide profile in an awesome A/T tire design. It should fit nicely with very little trimming and will look sweet due to the wider 285 series.
