I think the 17x10's all around may be a challenge without some serious fender work.
My car isn't really slammed, but the tops of the tires are even with the fender opening. I have the stock wheels (17x7.5 ET35 front, 17x8.5 ET45 rear) with 12mm spacers in the front and 20mm spacers in the rear with 225/45's all around. To obtain flushness, I'd probably need another 10-12mm in the front, and 12+ mm in the rear.

the 17x10 +6 wont fit unless your doing some fender roll, stretch tires and some camber.
the style 5s or 19 can fit all you need is the right tire, and possibly a fender roll.
Im on style 5's right now with 205/40/17 and all i did was mount the wheels, no fender roll or anything
i even installed a 5mm spacer wich puts me at et15 in the back and i barley have a small rubbing issue under a heavy load or big dip in the road!
