There have been a number of good "what rubber" threads in the past few weeks - you should check them out ...
I have 215-45-17 on my OEM Ford rims which IIRC is the stock SVT size ... and even if you lower the car you should have no issues with rubbing
I really like my Falken ZE 512s - nice combination of decent handling and reasonable quiet and ride comfort - seem to be wearing okay too ... bought them at Bramalea Tire on airport road at 407 - about 125 each installed and balanced and disposal fee included - not bad although I think you can do better.
And in terms of rims ... with the buck the way it is, the US may very well be your best bet.

Thanks,
