Re: Konig rims

Most aftermarket rims require the use of "tuner" lugs. That way you can also get something nice looking to go with the rims.
As for tires, 225/45/17 is a near perfect match in diameter. You could go 245/40/17 but the lower the profile the more potholes etc. become an issue and ride quality diminishes.

245/40/17 actually has almost the exact same sidewall profile as 225/45/17. I'd stick to 225/45/17 size on rims less than 8" wide.
