If you choose the right tires and offset for the wheels 17x7s shouldnt rub at all.

be a real woo driver and pop 18s on it ;)
pedders ride better than the kings- kings are much stiffer. but rolling your gaurds should give you enough clearance.
role the front half of the gaurd especially.

Yeah but these only lower in a little dont they.

I dont have this car so I dont know that much about it, for as an example with my car my 17x7.5s didnt start rubbing till i lowered it over 2.5" and had a car load of people going over a bump.

The correct offset for a Lanos is 35mm I believe. The most you will be able to go is 40 with no rubbing. Anything over 40 is no good.

Are you sure its that low?
I dont think many cars use that for that width...might be hard to find.
