When looking for wheels, what do I look for? (archive)

I went to fatdaddybmw and saw the pics of the cars, (nice), and loved some of the rims on the cars, but I read that they had to stagger or something like that, use spacers and what not. I have no idea what they are. Whats the biggest size and width that will fit on my car. I was thinking on 17inches, but don't know anything about offset. I just want a rim and wheel that I can buy and put on my car. Right now I have the standard TRX wheels and rims. The tires have about 85% tread left on them and the rims are in perfect condition. Anyone interested in trading? If not, I'd appreciate your help, Thanks!
